Among the disclosed rounds in this Seoul AI set, the largest amount is CarbonSix’s $28M on 2026-04-16; it sits well above the next-largest disclosed rounds (Motif Technologies $16M on 2026-05-27 and Xpanner $18M on 2026-05-14 are closer together, while PROMEDIUS $14M on 2026-06-05 and Aim Intelligence $7M on 2026-04-10 trail them). The amounts otherwise cluster in the lower-to-mid teens, with several entries showing “undisclosed” funding (Aristo 2026-06-25; Dfinite 2026-06-16; Evom AI 2026-06-12; and others).
Date-wise, the 18 rows span 2020-04-13 (Energy X, $5M) through 2026-06-25 (Aristo, undisclosed), but most activity is concentrated in a tight mid-to-late 2026 window: 15 of the 18 entries fall between 2026-04-10 and 2026-06-25. Stage labeling is also uneven here: 9 of 18 entries are “undisclosed” or “Series Unknown” combined (Aristo, Dfinite, Evom AI, Tiro, VibeAI, Bunzee, Readycure, plus two “Series Unknown” rows like Colosseum and Sentinel DeepActive), while Seed, Series A, Series B appear as the remaining labeled stages.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in this Seoul AI list, and how far ahead is it from the rest of disclosed amounts?
CarbonSix’s $28M (2026-04-16) is the clear high-water mark among disclosed rounds, with the next-largest disclosed amounts below it: Xpanner $18M (2026-05-14) and Motif Technologies $16M (2026-05-27), followed by PROMEDIUS $14M (2026-06-05).
Does the timing of rounds cluster, or are these uniformly spread across years?
They cluster heavily near the top of the date range: 15 of 18 entries occur between 2026-04-10 (Aim Intelligence) and 2026-06-25 (Aristo). The list also includes two much earlier points—Textway (2025-11-09, undisclosed) and Energy X (2020-04-13, $5M)—which stand apart from the 2026 concentration.
Are “undisclosed” and “Series Unknown” common enough to distort stage-level comparisons?
Yes: 9 of 18 entries are either “undisclosed” or “Series Unknown” (for example, undisclosed rounds include Aristo 2026-06-25, Dfinite 2026-06-16, and Evom AI 2026-06-12; “Series Unknown” includes Colosseum 2026-06-23 and Sentinel DeepActive 2026-06-14). Labeled stages like Seed (e.g., Deeply 2026-06-15 is Series A; Bunzee is Seed 2026-05-01; Textway is Seed 2025-11-09) are a minority relative to the unknowns in this slice.
What stage mix appears most often among the labeled rounds in the recent period?
Among entries with explicit stage labels, Seed and Series B show up multiple times (Seed: Dfinite is undisclosed, but Deeply is Series A; labeled Seeds include Bunzee 2026-05-01 and Sentinel DeepActive is Series Unknown; labeled Series B includes PROMEDIUS 2026-06-05, Motif Technologies 2026-05-27, and Xpanner 2026-05-14). Series A appears as well (Deeply 2026-06-15 and Aim Intelligence 2026-04-10), but the unknown categories occupy many of the most recent slots like Colosseum (2026-06-23, $1M) and VibeAI (2026-05-22, undisclosed).
Are there any geographic inconsistencies within “Seoul” that matter for sourcing?
Most rows are consistently Seoul or Seoul-t’ukpyolsi: for example, Aristo (Seoul) and Colosseum/Dfinite/Sentinel DeepActive (Seoul-t’ukpyolsi). Energy X is also labeled Seoul-T’ukpyolsi (2020-04-13), suggesting naming variation rather than a move to a different city within the listing.
