Disclosed funding in Seongnam is topped by a $250M Series C from Rebellions (2025-09-29), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount of $234M from SK Eternix (2026-03-06). After that, disclosed rounds thin out quickly: only four entries reach $100M+ (XCENA $135M on 2026-05-29 and KoMiCo $100M on 2026-05-18 join IHW’s $37M on 2026-08-19), while the smallest disclosed amount is $40K from Kinetic Lab Inc. (2026-04-20).
On timing, the page spans 2025-09-27 to 2026-08-19, with 21 of 24 rounds in 2026, so the list is heavily concentrated in the most recent year. Sector and stage mix also skew toward AI and uncertain labels: Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears in 7 entries, and “Series Unknown” is the largest stage group with 9 entries; both patterns show up across companies like IHW (AI) at $37M on 2026-08-19 and XCENA (Hardware/Consumer electronics) at $135M on 2026-05-29 alongside multiple “Series Unknown” financings.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds in Seongnam, and how steep is the drop-off after the top two?
Rebellions’ $250M (2025-09-29) is the largest disclosed round, and SK Eternix’s $234M (2026-03-06) is next-largest. The following disclosed amounts are $135M (XCENA, 2026-05-29) and $100M (KoMiCo, 2026-05-18), then a clear step down to $37M (IHW, 2026-08-19) and smaller subsequent disclosed rounds like $16M (Cosmos Lab, 2026-08-12).
Is funding concentrated in a specific time window within the 2025–2026 range?
Yes. Rounds span 2025-09-27 to 2026-08-19, but 21 of 24 entries are in 2026, meaning most financings here fall in the most recent year rather than evenly across the full range. The most recent disclosed round is IHW’s $37M on 2026-08-19, while the oldest entry on the page is Big Mobility (2025-09-27) with $2M.
Do any sectors appear disproportionately often relative to other themes?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears in 7 entries, more than any other repeated sector theme listed (Hardware in 3; Electronics in 2; Semiconductor in 2). You can see this concentration across multiple companies and dates, including IHW at $37M (2026-08-19) and DEEPX in AI infrastructure (Series D) on 2026-08-03, alongside other AI-labeled entries like MediQStar (2026-08-03, undisclosed) and Retriever (2026-06-09, $330K).
How dominant is “Series Unknown,” and how does that affect interpreting the round mix?
“Series Unknown” is the largest stage label with 9 entries, exceeding Seed (6) and matching the overall uncertainty implied by 10 of 24 rows being undisclosed. Several examples combine both effects, such as Huons BioPharma (2026-06-23, Series Unknown, undisclosed) and SSenStone (2026-06-02, Series Unknown, undisclosed), while disclosed exceptions like KoMiCo (2026-05-18, Series Unknown, $100M) show that disclosed amounts can still occur without a standardized stage label.
Are there notable outliers on the low end or high end worth prioritizing for diligence?
On the high end, Rebellions’ $250M (2025-09-29) and SK Eternix’s $234M (2026-03-06) sit far above the middle of the disclosed distribution. On the low end, Kinetic Lab Inc. is an outlier with the smallest disclosed amount at $40K (2026-04-20), and it contrasts with other small-to-mid disclosed entries such as Retriever’s $330K (2026-06-09) and DEEPX’s $3M (2026-08-03, Series D).
Within the city naming on the page, is Seongnam treated as a single hub or are there splits in geography labels?
All 24 entries are labeled within Seongnam, South Korea, or Seongnam, Kyonggi-do, South Korea; the city label isn’t split into different city names. That means the list behaves like a single geographic bucket (Seongnam) rather than multiple similarly named cities, while still allowing a broader “Kyonggi-do” administrative label on some entries like KoMiCo (2026-05-18) and XCENA (2026-05-29).
