Riverr, a Singapore-based health data verification platform, has raised US$1 million in its seed round led by KSL Maritime Ventures, the venture arm of conglomerate Kuok Group.
Seeds Capital also participated in the round, as part of a S$50 million (around US$37.2 million) co-investment scheme for maritime startups supported by Enterprise Singapore and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.

Founded in 2020, Riverr simplifies the verification of health data – including vaccination history – across organizations and governments. One way the platform can be used is in checking the health records of seafarers before they are approved for boarding or disembarking at ports.
In a statement, Riverr said that it can verify 10 standard health record data sets that are recognized worldwide. The company also said prominent health clinics and labs such as Acumen Diagnostics, Healthway Medical Group, and Mirxes have used its verification platform.
Riverr was founded by serial entrepreneur Kristina Lynge, along with Martin Nielsen and William Bech. The trio also built a maritime data collaboration platform called C-Log.
The startup plans to use the fresh funds to accelerate its partnership with healthcare providers in Singapore, the Philippines, India, and Indonesia.
