The disclosed funding sizes in this Kuala Lumpur list show one clear outlier: Paywatch’s $20M Series A on 2025-11-05, which sits well above the next-highest disclosed rounds (BrioHR $7M on 2025-05-14; Versa Asia $7M on 2025-03-19; and Naluri Life $5M on 2025-08-12, among others). That same skew is reflected in the stage pattern: Series Unknown appears frequently (19 of 50 rows), and undisclosed amounts also recur (13 of 50 rows), so most disclosed entries cluster in smaller ranges (e.g., $110K-$4M) while a few breaks land in the single-digit millions.
Date-wise, entries span 2022-11-12 (InsureComFree) through 2025-11-20 (Angkasa-X). Multiple AI-linked rounds concentrate in the later half of 2024 and 2024-08-07/08-08/08-12 window (e.g., Ascension Innovation 2024-08-26 at $230K; VIDANEX 2024-08-08 as undisclosed; Newell Road 2024-08-07 at $110K; Naluri Life 2025-08-12 at $5M). Financial Services also forms a dense cluster across years, with repeated rounds including PolicyStreet ($15M on 2023-05-23) and Paywatch ($20M on 2025-11-05). Geographically, every row is mapped to Kuala Lumpur, with one explicit duplicate label variant for Naluri Life (“Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia”).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Kuala Lumpur list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Paywatch’s $20M Series A on 2025-11-05 is the largest disclosed amount shown. The next-largest disclosed figures are materially smaller, including BrioHR and Versa Asia at $7M (2025-05-14 and 2025-03-19) and Naluri Life at $5M (2025-08-12).
How much of the data is undisclosed or “Series Unknown,” and what does that imply for comparing rounds by stage?
Across 50 rows, 13 list “undisclosed” amounts and 19 list “Series Unknown” stage classifications. That means cross-round comparisons by disclosed size and by stated stage are frequently constrained, even when the city (Kuala Lumpur) is consistent (e.g., Angkasa-X at Seed on 2025-11-20 shows a disclosed amount, while many others do not).
Are there time clusters within the most recent entries (e.g., last quarter) rather than a flat spread?
Yes. In November 2025, three dated entries appear in quick succession: Angkasa-X (2025-11-20, $870K), MantaYaY (2025-11-08, $5M), and Paywatch (2025-11-05, $20M). A second tight window appears in June 2024 with several entries dated 2024-06-10 and earlier/later adjacent months (e.g., COEX 2024-01-15 at $110K contrasts with Deemples 2024-06-10 at $2M).
Which stage labels and disclosed-size ranges dominate when comparing what’s actually stated?
Among rows with disclosed amounts, many fall into lower single-digit millions and sub-$1M ranges, such as being juice ($1M, Seed on 2025-01-15), SurplusLoop ($110K, Pre-Seed on 2024-08-27), and DespaQ ($0K, Series Unknown on 2023-06-13). Meanwhile, larger disclosed rounds are relatively concentrated around specific outliers and a handful of single-digit million entries (Paywatch $20M; BrioHR $7M; Versa Asia $7M).
Are any sectors over-represented relative to others in this top-50 slice?
Financial Services is the most consistently recurring sector across multiple years (e.g., Paywatch $20M on 2025-11-05; PolicyStreet $15M on 2023-05-23; multiple “Series Unknown” Financial Services entries including DCAP Digital on 2024-10-29, and ENOKU/MobyPay/Vircle on 2023-06-20 also clustering around June 2023). AI also appears repeatedly (Naluri Life on 2025-08-12 at $5M; Ascension Innovation on 2024-08-26 at $230K; VIDANEX on 2024-08-08 as undisclosed; Newell Road on 2024-08-07 at $110K).
