Anthony Chow holds a First Class Honours degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Imperial College London and a master's degree specializing in big data from Stanford University. Before founding igloohome he worked as a data scientist at Singtel. A frequent Airbnb host frustrated by the logistics of handing physical keys to guests, he co-founded igloohome in Singapore in 2015 with Kelvin Ho to build smart locks that issue time-bound PIN codes without requiring internet at the door. As CEO he has scaled the company's consumer locks and its iglooworks enterprise access-management vertical, and was recognized among EY Singapore's Entrepreneur of the Year award winners in 2024.
Kelvin Ho graduated from the National University of Singapore with a master's with honours in engineering and a distinction in intellectual property law, and brought more than 15 years of software-development experience to igloohome. Before co-founding the company he was CTO of restaurant-discovery platform HungryGoWhere, which was acquired by Singtel. Also a frequent Airbnb host, he co-founded igloohome in Singapore in 2015 with Anthony Chow and leads its engineering and research, where he was pivotal in creating the company's proprietary algoPIN technology — the cryptographic scheme that lets igloohome locks validate time-bound access codes offline, without any Wi-Fi connection.

A range of digital deadbolts and rim locks that grant keyless entry through algorithmically generated PIN codes or Bluetooth keys issued from the igloohome app. The defining capability is offline operation: time-bound codes are computed cryptographically so the lock can validate them without any internet connection at the door, letting a host pre-issue a code that works only during a guest's stay. Locks support one-time, duration-limited, and recurring codes and are aimed at short-term rental hosts, landlords, and homeowners who need to grant and revoke access remotely and reliably.
A smart key safe that stores a physical key or access card behind a keypad, opened by a time-bound PIN or Bluetooth key generated in the app, again without needing connectivity. It lets property managers, real-estate agents, and rental hosts leave a key on site and grant temporary, schedulable access to guests, cleaners, or contractors instead of meeting them in person. Like the locks, codes can be one-time or limited to a set window, and access logs are synced when a phone with the app comes into Bluetooth range, supporting unattended check-ins and remote handovers.
