Truly data-driven decisions often seem accessible only to large enterprises.
Solving this problem is Singapore-based startup PantherPulse, which hope to change that by using AI to democratize access to insights.
Continue reading to learn more about the startup, which is in the pre-seed stage.
Problem
SMEs can’t afford the high cost of hiring consultants or data analysts, nor do they have time to analyze data in-house. They also lack the technical knowledge to use business intelligence tools.
Solution
PantherPulse offers “Pulse,” an AI-driven platform acting as a business guide for SMEs. Users throw questions to Pulse, which then retrieves answers derived from their internal data.
A cafe, for example, can use Pulse to analyze sales trends, customer preferences, and pricing strategies. A services firm can study its operational costs to identify unnecessary expenses.
Market Size
The Singapore data analytics market is valued at approximately $1 billion by 2024, with an expected 10% CAGR over the next five years. Globally, the market stands at $50 billion, growing at a 12% CAGR.
PantherPulse targets SMEs in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and technology sectors, aiming to capture 3-5% of Singapore’s 220,000 SME market and expand regionally in Southeast Asia.
Traction
PantherPulse completed its proof-of-concept with over 10 customer personas and secured one pilot customer.
The company has garnered interest from 17 potential customers. It has received sponsorship from AWS and Anthropic.
Team
The PantherPulse team consists of professionals with 25 years of combined experience in business, product, and engineering.
Haja Mohaideen, the CEO, is a third time founder with a strong background in product delivery and leadership, and had a two-year stint as the COO of a series B stage fintech startup.
Alvin Arulselvan, the chief product and technology officer, has more than 10 years of experience as a CTO, product executive, and engineer at multinational companies and startups.
Competition
PantherPulse offers a platform specifically tailored for SMEs, which distinguishes it from competitors who may cater more to large enterprises or require extensive technical expertise.
