Centre, 2 Exits, NUS
Leon Lim is the CEO & Founder of Groundup.ai, a Singapore-based startup helping
industrial companies prevent unplanned downtime through industrial Internet of Things
IoT and Artificial Intelligence. With a decade of experience in the Technology and AI
space, Leon has successfully built and exited two ventures and previously managed
over 3,000 servers in a Tier III blockchain data centre – one of Singapore’s first and
largest of its kind, which he scaled globally.
An alumnus of the National University of Singapore NUS, Leon remains actively
involved in the ecosystem as a mentor and early-stage investor in local VC firms. His
passion for technology is matched by his commitment to giving back to the next
generation of entrepreneurs.
Leonʼs journey is anything but conventional. During his student years, he was the
principal French Horn performer in the Singapore National Youth Orchestra. That early
training in sound and signal interpretation sparked his interest in audio analytics, an
experience that now underpins Groundup.aiʼs proprietary approach to machine
anomaly detection using AI.
Recognized by top media such as The Straits Times, Tech in Asia, The Business
Times, and MoneyFM 89.3 – Leon, together with Co-Founder & COO Alex – have been
spotlighted as Southeast Asiaʼs rising voices in deep tech. Under their leadership,
Groundup.ai has gained international visibility, featured in TechNode Global, KrASIA,
Zawya, and e27, for redefining how industries approach predictive maintenance and
asset performance.
