Alleviating frustrations of physical key exchange

As an Airbnb host, Anthony faced the frustrations of the inconvenience of physical key exchanges, especially when guests wanted to check in at odd hours. As such, he wanted to enhance the experience of both hosts and guests and therefore set out to eliminate such problems. Together with his partners, he founded igloohome, with a simple vision to create a world without keys.

Anthony loves to tinker with technology and is a dreamer of a connected world. He relishes the occasional data science problem, and can be found enjoying long evening runs along the beaches in Singapore.

Anthony has a Masters from Stanford University specializing in big data, and a First Class Honours from Imperial College in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
