Among the 47 most recent Seed rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Bone’s $12M (2025-11-21). That single figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed rounds, where multiple entries cluster at the $650K–$750K range (e.g., vibers.ai $750K on 2025-11-19; Canopy $700K on 2025-11-07; Milliway $700K on 2025-10-29; Gongcar $690K on 2025-11-04) and only a few reach $2M (Kyndof $2M on 2025-11-20; ControlM $2M on 2025-10-18; ASET $2M on 2025-09-28; Big Mobility $2M on 2025-09-27; MEDIASCOPE $2M on 2025-09-10).
Geographically, entries are concentrated around Seoul (e.g., Fabric Duct $340K on 2025-11-30; Obud $550K on 2025-11-21; Canopy $700K on 2025-11-07; Trackit undisclosed on 2025-09-30), while other cities appear with single rounds (e.g., Incheon, Daejeon, Cheonan, Yongdungpo). Temporally, the date window spans 2025-09-08 to 2025-11-30, with early-November activity recurring across multiple days (2025-11-10, 2025-11-16, 2025-11-19, 2025-11-21). Disclosures are uneven: undisclosed amounts appear on 25 of 47 rows, and the smallest disclosed amount is ROVO’s $140K (2025-10-16).

Frequently asked
What stands out in disclosed round sizes across these recent Seed startups?
Bone’s $12M (2025-11-21) is the clear outlier; the next tier of disclosed amounts includes several rounds around $650K–$750K (e.g., GigaEte $650K on 2025-09-10; Gongcar $690K on 2025-11-04; vibers.ai $750K on 2025-11-19), with only a small set at $2M (e.g., Kyndof $2M on 2025-11-20; MEDIASCOPE $2M on 2025-09-10).
How much of this list lacks disclosed funding amounts, and does that affect comparisons?
Undisclosed amounts appear on 25 of 47 rows (e.g., Frefins on 2025-11-28; Korea Digital Asset Custody on 2025-11-27; Save the Farms on 2025-11-26). Comparisons of “largest” and “smallest” therefore rely only on the 22 disclosed rows, where the smallest disclosed amount is ROVO’s $140K (2025-10-16).
Are there specific cities that show up more often than others?
Seoul is the dominant geography across disclosed and undisclosed entries (e.g., Fabric Duct in Seoul $340K on 2025-11-30; Obud in Seoul $550K on 2025-11-21; Trackit in Seoul undisclosed on 2025-09-30). Other locations such as Incheon, Daejeon, Cheonan, and Gyeongju appear repeatedly but generally as single-city footprints tied to one entry each in the shown slice (e.g., ASET $2M in Pyeongtaeg on 2025-09-28; Big Mobility $2M in Seongnam on 2025-09-27).
Which part of the date range is most consistently represented in this Seed feed?
The shown rounds span 2025-09-08 through 2025-11-30, and early cluster days recur in November (notably 2025-11-10 with multiple Seed rounds such as Lysin Bio undisclosed in Daejeon and RebuilderAI $3M in Seoul). Several other November days also repeat (e.g., 2025-11-19 includes DoubleT undisclosed and vibers.ai $750K).
Do any sectors appear repeatedly enough to form a pattern?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears across multiple companies and dates (e.g., Bone on 2025-11-21; vibers.ai on 2025-11-19; Gongcar on 2025-11-04; Textway on 2025-11-09; RebuilderAI on 2025-11-10; Trackit lists cloud and data on 2025-09-30). Robotics and hardware also co-occur in multiple entries (e.g., Bone on 2025-11-21 and ROVO on 2025-10-16).
Which entries are worth extra scrutiny because they sit at the extreme ends of disclosed amounts?
At the high end, Bone’s $12M (2025-11-21) is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts visible in the rows (e.g., $3M RebuilderAI on 2025-11-10; $2M rounds such as Kyndof on 2025-11-20 and MEDIASCOPE on 2025-09-10). At the low end, ROVO’s $140K (2025-10-16) sits near the minimum among disclosed figures, which may indicate smaller-ticket Seed execution compared with the multi-million rounds.
