Here are the startups that are part of the winter cohort:

• CoderSchool provides coding courses including data analytics, machine learning, corporate training, and full-stack web development on its online platform.
• Duoria, a lifestyle activities app, lets users find restaurants and activities and offers a “group buy” option.
• Ferne Health is a healthtech platform for women that helps in diagnosing sexual health-related diseases by providing consultations and screening kits, among others.
• GoZayaan, a Bangladesh-based travel startup, provides users with hotel and flight booking services. It also helps users with applying for a visa to different countries.
• Spenmo is a fintech firm that helps companies manage their spending efficiently through local and overseas invoice payments, approval-based spending mechanism, and accounting automation.
• String Soul, an online music learning company, provides children with live instruction, guided self-service practice, and a camera which allows teachers to provide feedback asynchronously and remotely.

The accelerator is scheduled to culminate in a demo day in April, where all the startups can present themselves to an audience of selected investors.

In June last year, Iterative named the eight Southeast Asian startups that made up its first cohort.
