Iterative

A Southeast Asia accelerator run by founders, modelled on intensive small-cohort programmes.

Focus
Southeast Asia Early-Stage

Overview

Iterative runs small, intensive cohorts for early-stage companies across Southeast Asia, explicitly modelled on the founder-led, high-density format that Y Combinator popularised.

Its partners are operators who built companies in the region, which matters because Southeast Asia's markets fragment across languages, regulators, and payment systems in ways generic advice handles poorly.

Program Structure

  • Small cohorts run twice a year
  • Investment made at entry in exchange for equity
  • Weekly founder-led sessions with direct partner access
  • Demo day to regional and international investors
  • Ongoing support with follow-on fundraising

What They Look For

  • Companies targeting Southeast Asian markets
  • Early traction, even at small absolute numbers
  • Founders who understand the fragmentation of the region
  • Software, fintech, marketplaces, and logistics
  • Teams willing to be in Singapore during the programme
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

Alumni operate across Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand in fintech, business software, and commerce infrastructure.

For founders in the region, the programme functions as a bridge to investors who track Southeast Asia but do not source deals locally.
