Morning, a coffee tech startup founded by Southeast Asian specialty coffee pioneer Leon Foo (PPP Coffee) and manufacturing expert Bowen Chiou, with a vision to make delicious coffees more accessible. We noticed roasters all around the world putting beautiful coffees into pods but yet the options for high quality pod machines were limited. The Morning Machine is the worlds first coffee capsule machine that combines precision features typically seen in professional coffee equipment, with IoT capabilities that lets you draw recipes created by the roasters themselves. Delivering coffee with character at the touch of a dial, in the comfort of your home. The Morning Machine experience is complemented by the Morning Marketplace, a gateway to discovering the worlds best roasters and coffees. Registered company name Akronym Pte Ltd.

Takachya is a outdoor lifestyle brand, which means "to cycle" in a Singaporean dialect. Since 2017, with our roots in cycling, weve been going round the world curating well-designed and functional cycling products for tropical cycling in Southeast Asia. Today, weve designed and collaborated to create arguably the largest cycling caps collection in Singapore and the region. From our headquarters in Singapore, were now expanding operations to the UK and expanding our product range into other outdoor activities. Through our products, we strive daily to deliver the shiokness of moving in the outdoors. "Shiok" is a concept in Singapore culture that describes a sense of deep satisfaction doing something.
