When a startup founder, defense strategist, FMCG operator, and social worker team up, they don’t form your average nonprofit. They form Antica—a foundation reinventing how Singapore addresses aging and reintegration.

At the helm is Dixon Lim, a former founder now running Antica with the hustle of a Series A startup.
In months, they’ve launched Project GUARDIAN – passive tech to prevent falls in senior homes and Project SECOND WINGS – reintegrating ex-offenders into real community jobs.

Their mantra? Move fast, build smart, and don’t wait for permission. With aging populations and rising complexity, Antica poses a radical question: What if nonprofits scaled like startups?
