Singapore-based Dozer believes that it should be simple and effortless to create data APIs.

The startup stresses that companies often require a large team of data engineers to deploy customer-facing data products. The process is expensive, time-consuming, and hard to maintain because engineers have to stitch together multiple components.

This is where Dozer comes in. It offers a plug-and-play data infrastructure backend that simplifies the creation of real-time APIs.

By integrating with databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, data warehouses such as Snowflake, and even the Ethereum blockchain ledger, Dozer enables engineers to gather data from multiple sources, extract real-time insights, and create customer-centric features.

The company has come out of stealth mode and made its platform available to developers. It also recently secured new funding to expand its product and engineering teams.

Funding details

• Funding amount: $3,000,000
• Lead investor: Surge
• Other investors: Gradient Ventures, January Capital
• Stage: Seed

The firm, which consists of a 15-member team operating in Asia and Europe, told Tech in Asia that it plans to use the new funding to broaden its developer relations activities and launch its cloud service.

Prior to founding Dozer, co-founders Matteo Pelati and Vivek Gudapuri had garnered experiences delivering scalable data products for companies such as DBS Bank, Goldman Sachs, DataRobot, and PayU.
