Among the 9 most recent Hong Kong Island entries, KLOOK’s $200M Series E (2021-01-26) is a clear outlier: the remaining disclosed rounds sit between $4M and $50M, including Oriente’s $50M (2020-04-28) and Aqumon’s $30M (2020-10-22). The rest of the disclosed amounts are comparatively clustered in the teens to $30M range, with no other disclosed round above $50M.
The list also concentrates in a narrow time window and repeats a sector pattern: five of the nine entries are in Financial Services (Coherent, Statrys, Aqumon, Neat, EMQ, Oriente, Amber Group), while the rounds span 2020-02-14 to 2021-01-28. Geographically, several companies are repeatedly located around Central/Causeway Bay/Wan Chai (e.g., KLOOK in Central on 2021-01-26; Coherent in Causeway Bay on 2020-11-10; Statrys and Neat in Wan Chai in 2020-11-02 and 2020-08-19), suggesting a hub-style footprint across Hong Kong Island. Disclosed funding appears alongside five rounds where the stage label is blank (undisclosed stage), not evenly distributed across the period.

Frequently asked
What stands out on size in the most recent Hong Kong Island rounds, and how does it compare to the next-largest disclosed amount?
KLOOK’s disclosed $200M (Series E, 2021-01-26) dwarfs the rest of the list; the next-largest disclosed round is Oriente’s $50M (2020-04-28), with remaining disclosed amounts below $50M.
Is there a tight cluster of round dates within this Hong Kong Island list?
Yes. Four of the nine disclosed rounds fall between 2020-10-22 and 2020-11-10 (Aqumon $30M on 2020-10-22; Neat $4M on 2020-08-19 is outside, while Coherent $14M on 2020-11-10, Statrys $5M on 2020-11-02, and EMQ $20M on 2020-07-27), and the most recent two entries are close together in late January 2021 (KLOOK 2021-01-26 at $200M; Lynk 2021-01-28 at $24M).
Which sectors dominate these 9 entries, and how concentrated are they?
Financial Services dominates with 7 of 9 entries carrying Financial Services in the row data (Coherent, Statrys, Aqumon, Neat, EMQ, Oriente, Amber Group). The remaining two entries are Lynk (Information Technology, $24M on 2021-01-28) and KLOOK (Community and Lifestyle, $200M on 2021-01-26).
How often is the stage label missing, and does that affect the mix of disclosed amounts?
Five of the nine entries have a blank stage label (Coherent, Statrys, Aqumon, Neat, EMQ, and others total 5 of 9 where the stage field is empty), including rounds like Aqumon’s $30M (2020-10-22) and Neat’s $4M (2020-08-19). The non-blank stage labels include KLOOK’s Series E $200M (2021-01-26) and Lynk’s Series B $24M (2021-01-28), with those two being on the higher end of disclosed amounts.
Which funding amounts look like meaningful outliers on the low end?
Neat’s $4M (2020-08-19, Financial Services) is the smallest disclosed amount in the rows, standing well below the next-lowest disclosed rounds such as Statrys’ $5M (2020-11-02) and Coherent’s $14M (2020-11-10).
