Pre-seed rounds in this Philippines-focused slice span from 2021-03-22 (NextPay) to 2025-11-16 (Fabra), with 17 rows total. The disclosed amounts are heavily skewed: Fabra’s $3M on 2025-11-16 is the largest disclosed round, and it sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts at $4M? (No—$4M appears twice, OneLot $4M on 2024-10-14 and ProCredit $4M on 2024-02-26), making Fabra the top only in this listing’s largest single row category while the remainder clusters lower—most notably multiple rounds in the $1M range (NoneAway $1M on 2024-11-14; Shoppable Business $1M on 2023-06-20; Dart $1M on 2022-07-27) and several smaller disclosed rounds at $500K or $400K.
Geographically and temporally, there is clear clustering in Metro Manila business centers: Makati, Manila and its immediate cluster dominates the 2024 calendar, including OneLot ($4M, 2024-10-14), ProCredit ($4M, 2024-02-26), Toki ($2M, 2024-01-15), and Shoppable Business’s $1M (though dated 2023-06-20). Sector mix also leans Financial Services and Commerce: Financial Services appears in multiple entries (NoneAway $1M; OneLot $4M; Beppo undisclosed; ProCredit $4M; Paytaca $50K; NextPay $100K), while Commerce and Shopping is consistently present across Makati and nearby cities (Toki $2M; Parlon $400K; Shoppable Business $1M; On Demand Deals undisclosed; COCOTEL undisclosed; Dart $1M).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed pre-seed round is the largest in this Philippines list, and how far above the next disclosed amounts is it?
The largest disclosed amount shown is $4M, held by OneLot (2024-10-14) and ProCredit (2024-02-26). The next-largest disclosed amounts are $3M for Fabra (2025-11-16) and $2M for Toki (2024-01-15), so the $4M rounds sit above the rest of the disclosed entries.
Do the disclosed amounts cluster around specific sizes, or are they broadly distributed across many price points?
There’s noticeable clustering in the $1M band: NoneAway raised $1M on 2024-11-14, Shoppable Business raised $1M on 2023-06-20, and Dart raised $1M on 2022-07-27. Smaller disclosed rounds also concentrate below $1M, including Mochi at $50K (2024-04-03) and multiple $100K–$500K entries like Paytaca ($50K on 2023-02-06) and OneCFO ($500K on 2024-10-14).
Which cities appear most often, and does the list concentrate around a specific Metro Manila cluster?
Makati, Manila is the most repeated location in the shown rows, spanning multiple pre-seed dates in 2024 and 2023 (e.g., OneLot $4M on 2024-10-14; ProCredit $4M on 2024-02-26; Toki $2M on 2024-01-15; Parlon $400K on 2023-10-20; Dart $1M on 2022-07-27). Other recurring places include Pasig, Rizal (Shoppable Business $1M on 2023-06-20; COCOTEL undisclosed on 2022-11-21) and nearby areas like Taguig, Rizal (Betterteem undisclosed on 2023-03-13).
What share of entries show undisclosed funding amounts, and how does that affect comparisons of 'largest' or 'smallest'?
Undisclosed amounts appear in 5 of the 17 rows: Beppo (2024-05-28), On Demand Deals (2023-06-08), Betterteem (2023-03-13), COCOTEL (2022-11-21), and at least one additional undisclosed row shown (Beppo). As a result, only the disclosed rows can be used to identify the smallest disclosed amount, which is $50K (Mochi on 2024-04-03 and Paytaca on 2023-02-06).
Is there a temporal burst in the most recent quarters, or are round dates evenly spread across the window?
Dates are not uniform across the 2021–2025 window: a large share of entries land in 2024, including multiple rounds from October 2024 through February 2024 (OneCFO $500K on 2024-10-14; OneLot $4M on 2024-10-14; NoneAway $1M on 2024-11-14; Fabra $3M is later in 2025-11-16; ProCredit $4M on 2024-02-26). The oldest shown rounds are 2021-03-22 (NextPay $100K) and 2021-07-02 (Pelago Inc. $100K), with fewer entries compared to 2023–2024.
