Groundup.ai, an industrial Al expert in machine maintenance and workplace safety Al solutions, announced Monday a close of its US$4.25m Series A funding round.

The round was led by local venture capital firm Tin Men Capital, with continued support from Wavemaker Ventures, the early-stage fund of Wavemaker Partners, who also invested in the company’s earlier funding stages and participation from SEEDS Capital, the company said in a statement.

This strategic investment will accelerate Groundup.ai’s mission to transform traditional industries with cutting-edge AI solutions, specifically targeting sectors such as manufacturing, maritime, defense and oil & gas.

With this fresh capital, the company plans to scale its product offerings, strengthen its global footprint across Asia and Middle East while expanding to Australia, Europe and North Asia and invest in talent and infrastructure to ensure that their clients achieve maximum impact from onboarding to long-term value realisation.

Founded and headquartered in Singapore, Groundup.ai offers Cognitive Maintenance, an advanced approach that combines autonomous AI agents, proprietary sensors, and deep machine understanding to go beyond alerts. Their solutions help teams to understand the context behind each error while delivering root-cause insights and actionable remedies.

Groundup.ai’s solution has delivered millions of dollars in savings repeatedly across a diverse client base. Their technology has been successfully deployed by multinational corporations and government-linked entities in Southeast Asia and Middle East, delivering measurable ROI and setting new standards for industrial digital transformation.

“We’re not just optimising maintenance; we’re transforming the way industrial operations run. Our team at Groundup.ai is excited to empower maintenance teams with tools to make every asset intelligent, self-monitoring, and capable of anticipating failure before it happens. We are already enabling industry leaders to realise this vision while delivering millions in savings and elevating maintenance from a reactive cost center into a strategic function,” said Leon Lim, CEO and Founder of Groundup.ai.

The Series A funding comes amid a growing demand for smart industrial solutions as companies face challenges in rising operational costs, skilled labor shortages, and increasing pressure to maximise uptime. Groundup.ai’s AI platform offers a compelling answer—one that merges predictive maintenance with practical deployment.

With Tin Men Capital leading this new round, current investors Wavemaker Ventures and SEEDS Capital joined the round, demonstrating their sustained belief in Groundup.ai’s mission and future.

The company plans to use the fresh capital to enhance product development to serve even more complex industrial environments, expand its AI capabilities, and establish a stronger presence in key regional and global markets.
