Among the 12 most recent Daejeon rounds shown, LegoChem Biosciences closed the largest disclosed round at $214M on 2026-06-26, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount (Raion Robotics at $17M on 2025-09-20). The disclosed amounts then compress into smaller bands, with multiple rounds at $7M (Automata on 2026-04-24) and $5M (Intergravity on 2026-04-13) rather than another large-cap raise.
Date-wise, the listings cluster tightly in April 2026: four of the 12 entries fall between 2026-04-02 and 2026-04-24 (IVWorks, WEFLO, Intergravity, and Automata). Sector-wise, biotechnology-related coverage appears frequently, including LegoChem Biosciences (Biotechnology) and Lysin Bio (Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals/Healthcare). Stage mix is also uneven: “Series Unknown” appears in 3 of 12 entries (LegoChem Biosciences, IVWorks, VPIX Medical), while “undisclosed” disclosed amounts appear in 3 more (Lysin Bio, VPIX Medical, Nanosystem). The rows span 2025-09-09 to 2026-06-26, with the newest round in late June 2026.

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round in Daejeon, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
LegoChem Biosciences’ $214M round on 2026-06-26 is the only disclosed amount above $50M in the rows shown, far ahead of the next-largest disclosed figures such as Raion Robotics at $17M (2025-09-20) and Automata at $7M (2026-04-24).
Do the rounds cluster around a specific time window in Daejeon?
Yes. Four entries fall within a tight April 2026 window: IVWorks ($4M on 2026-04-02), WEFLO ($4M on 2026-04-07), Intergravity ($5M on 2026-04-13), and Automata ($7M on 2026-04-24).
How often are amounts or stages not specified, and does that create a pattern?
Three entries show “Series Unknown” (LegoChem Biosciences $214M on 2026-06-26; IVWorks $4M on 2026-04-02; VPIX Medical on 2025-11-02 with an undisclosed amount). Separately, three entries list “undisclosed” amounts (Lysin Bio on 2025-11-11; VPIX Medical on 2025-11-02; Nanosystem on 2025-09-09).
What stage mix dominates across the 12 entries?
“Seed” appears in 3 entries (Intergravity $5M on 2026-04-13; Lysin Bio undisclosed on 2025-11-11; GigaEte $650K on 2025-09-10; plus Nanosystem is also Seed but undisclosed on 2025-09-09), while “Series A” appears in 4 entries (Automata $7M on 2026-04-24; WEFLO $4M on 2026-04-07; Dream Appeal $1M on 2025-11-28; TR $2M on 2025-10-31; and Raion Robotics $17M on 2025-09-20). “Series Unknown” accounts for 3 entries, and one entry is labeled “Venture - Series Unknown” (VPIX Medical).
Are any sectors over-represented in this slice of Daejeon rounds?
Biotechnology/health-adjacent themes recur across multiple rows: LegoChem Biosciences is explicitly Biotechnology ($214M on 2026-06-26), Lysin Bio spans Biotechnology/Pharmaceuticals/Healthcare (undisclosed on 2025-11-11), and VPIX Medical is Healthcare (undisclosed on 2025-11-02).
Which recent entries are closest to the latest date, based on the 90-day window?
Within 90 days of the newest listed round (2026-06-26), the April 2026 cluster is the main concentration: IVWorks ($4M on 2026-04-02), WEFLO ($4M on 2026-04-07), Intergravity ($5M on 2026-04-13), and Automata ($7M on 2026-04-24). Entries from November–September 2025 fall outside that 90-day window.
