Necora Secures Investment from Antler, Joining an Elite Global Portfolio

We are proud to announce that Necora has officially been backed by Antler, one of the world's most active early-stage investors, following the completion of Antler's six-week Singapore residency program (SG20).

This milestone marks a defining moment for Necora and for our mission to build the operational intelligence layer for the data centers running the world. With Antler's conviction behind us, we are accelerating the rollout of PodIQ™, our reasoning and recommendation layer for critical infrastructure across power, cooling, IT, and security.

Antler, known for its global reach and commitment to backing the world's most driven founders, has invested in over 1,500 companies across more than 30 cities since its founding in 2018, and was named the most active venture capital firm globally in PitchBook's 2024 Annual Global League Table.

Through the SG20 residency, we sharpened our thesis, stress-tested our go-to-market against fellow founders and operators, and built the foundation for what comes next. Antler's investment is more than capital, it is access to a global network of operators, advisors, and follow-on investors who understand what it takes to build a category-defining company from day zero.

“Antler's conviction in critical infrastructure as the next frontier for applied AI is rare, and exactly what we needed at this stage. The six weeks of SG20 sharpened how we talk about PodIQ™, who we sell to first, and where the moat compounds. Data center capacity is doubling by 2030 and the operational layer running it was never built for that scale. We're grateful to be partnering with a firm that backs that thesis with capital, network, and execution support from day zero.”

PodIQ™ is vendor-agnostic and read-only by architecture, reinforcing 99.999% availability at scale. It pinpoints root causes in under one minute, surfaces degradation two to eight weeks before failure, optimizes PUE and WUE with up to 30% efficiency gains, and reduces operational risk by taking human error out of the loop. We are already deployed with anchor customers across Asia Pacific and Europe, with active pipeline conversations among Tier III and IV colocation operators globally.

With Antler's network and operational depth behind us, Necora is poised to bring its vision to market at scale, ensuring that PodIQ™ becomes synonymous with operational intelligence for critical infrastructure.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Antler for believing in our vision and partnering with us at the earliest stage of building the company.
