Among the 19 most recent funded companies tied to Rizal (sorted by round date desc), the largest disclosed round is UNObank’s $32M (2024-02-20), which sits far above the rest of the disclosed amounts in this slice. A second tier of disclosed rounds runs through the $7M–$16M range (First Circle $7M on 2024-10-03; GrowSari $5M on 2024-08-05; Zed $6M on 2024-03-19; Advance Tech Lending $16M on 2023-03-29; Coins.ph $30M on 2022-05-19), while only a few disclosed figures fall closer to the lows (e.g., ZAP Group $100K on 2022-03-07; Mediclick $300K on 2023-02-20).
The list also clusters by time: the oldest shown round is Podcast Network Asia’s $800K (2021-01-25), while the newest is Betterteem with an undisclosed round on 2025-03-26. Geographically, nearly every entry is anchored in Metro-area cities within the “Rizal” context (Taguig, Pasig, Parañaque, and Alabang recur), with Taguig showing multiple names (Betterteem; First Circle; Zed; UNObank; Advance Tech Lending; PayMongo; Maria Health) across different stages, including several financial services deals. Sector-wise, financial services appears repeatedly (First Circle, Zed, UNObank, Coins.ph, PayMongo), and “undisclosed” amounts show up 4 times (Betterteem 2025-03-26; On Demand Deals 2023-06-08; CirroLytix 2022-12-09; COCOTEL 2022-11-21).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Rizal on this page, and how far above the rest is it?
UNObank’s $32M (2024-02-20) is the largest disclosed amount; the next-largest disclosed figures are Coins.ph at $30M (2022-05-19) and Advance Tech Lending at $16M (2023-03-29). After that, disclosed rounds largely fall into the single-digit millions (e.g., First Circle $7M on 2024-10-03; Zed $6M on 2024-03-19; GrowSari $5M on 2024-08-05).
Do the rounds cluster in a narrow date window, or are they spread evenly across years?
The 19 rows span from 2021-01-25 (Podcast Network Asia) through 2025-03-26 (Betterteem, undisclosed). There is a noticeable concentration in 2022–2024, where multiple disclosed deals appear (e.g., 2022: Coins.ph $30M on 2022-05-19 and PayMongo $31M on 2022-02-20; 2023: Advance Tech Lending $16M on 2023-03-29).
Which cities dominate within the “Rizal” label, and is there a clear hub pattern?
Taguig repeats across multiple companies and stages, including Betterteem (2025-03-26, undisclosed), First Circle ($7M on 2024-10-03), Zed ($6M on 2024-03-19), UNObank ($32M on 2024-02-20), Advance Tech Lending ($16M on 2023-03-29), and PayMongo ($31M on 2022-02-20). Pasig is also frequent (GrowSari $5M on 2024-08-05; On Demand Deals undisclosed on 2023-06-08; Coins.ph $30M on 2022-05-19; Podcast Network Asia $800K on 2021-01-25).
Is there an outlier in sector or disclosed amount that stands apart from the typical range?
On disclosed amounts, UNObank’s $32M (2024-02-20) and Coins.ph’s $30M (2022-05-19) are the standout outliers versus the more common lower disclosed figures like ZAP Group’s $100K (2022-03-07) and Mediclick’s $300K (2023-02-20). Sector-wise, financial services is concentrated across several names (First Circle, Zed, UNObank, Coins.ph, PayMongo), suggesting a heavier funding footprint than sectors shown only once (e.g., Agriculture and Farming: Pelago Inc. $100K on 2021-07-02).
How heavy is the “missing amount” pattern, and does it affect comparisons for the newest rounds?
Four of the 19 rows list “undisclosed” amounts: Betterteem (2025-03-26), On Demand Deals (2023-06-08), CirroLytix (2022-12-09), and COCOTEL (2022-11-21). Because the most recent entry (Betterteem on 2025-03-26) is undisclosed, the newest date does not contribute to the largest/next-largest disclosed comparisons.
