Kyberlife, a Singapore-based business to business (B2B) healthcare e-commerce platform, has on Wednesday announced it has raised $3 million in its latest investment round led by Singapore venture capitalist firm 5I Ventures.
Kyberlife said in a statement that the round also saw participation from East Ventures, A2D Ventures, and NUS Alumni Ventures (NAV).
The new capital will support Kyberlife’s regional expansion plans and vision to streamline the digital procurement process within the healthcare sector.
The firm’s latest funding round will fuel its upcoming phase of regional growth and expansion, focusing on several key initiatives including expansion into Indonesia; connecting local healthcare institutions to global suppliers; investing in emerging technologies.
The firm will look to onboard Indonesia vendors onto its platform, offering them a platform to expand their business cross-borders and seek new sources of growth.
The company also intends to broaden its network of suppliers and customers in Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.
By introducing new product categories such as laboratory instruments and chemical reagents, the firm seeks to empower local organizations to enhance their research and development (R&D) efforts in clinical trials and pharmaceutical research across ASEAN.
The company aims to grow its vendor portfolio to ten times its current size within the next three years.
Kyberlife will also look to invest in technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver personalized product recommendations.
These advancements will digitalize procurement workflows and close the sustainability gap it takes to find, source, acquire goods.
“Kyberlife is a platform that is built by scientists, for scientists. Our vision is to simplify the complex and lengthy process researchers face when sourcing laboratory equipment and supplies essential for R&D in the healthcare industry,
“…we look forward to connecting more healthcare vendors with institutions to drive R&D efforts in Singapore and in the broader Southeast Asia region,” said Ryan James Lim, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kyberlife.
