Across the 6 most recent funded entries tied to “Central,” one disclosed round stands out: KLOOK’s $200M on 2021-01-26 dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts ($50M for Oriente on 2020-04-28; $47M for RedotPay on 2025-09-24; $24M for Lynk on 2021-01-28; and $17M for Queen’s Road Capital Investment on 2026-04-15). Most rounds cluster in a small set of “Central, Hong Kong Island” geographies, with all 6 listed as Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, even when sectors differ.
Temporal edges are clearer than sector breadth: the rows span 2020-04-28 to 2026-04-15, and 3 of the 6 entries fall in 2021 (Lynk on 2021-01-28, KLOOK on 2021-01-26, and Oriente’s 2020-04-28 aside), creating a noticeable 2020–2021 concentration. Stage disclosure is mixed: 2 of 6 entries are “Series Unknown/blank,” including Shinaraa (undisclosed) on 2026-04-03 and RedotPay’s “Venture - Series Unknown” on 2025-09-24, while the remaining 4 specify a seed/Series B/Series E.
