Disclosed deal sizes in this South Korea list are tightly clustered at the top end, with one clear outlier: Buffett Seoul’s $7M Series B on 2025-11-30, which sits above the next-largest disclosed rounds (e.g., Snap Company’s $15M would contradict; therefore the largest disclosed is actually Snap Company’s $15M on 2025-10-28). All other disclosed amounts range well below $15M, with several in the $4M–$9M band (e.g., Redrob $9M on 2025-11-22; CLE $11M on 2025-11-05), while many later entries are “Seed” but disclose $700K or less (e.g., Fabric Duct $340K on 2025-11-30; Oncolab $680K on 2025-11-14). The geography is also concentrated: Seoul dominates address entries across rounds from 2025-11-30 back to 2025-10-14, with only a handful outside (e.g., Daejeon, Incheon, Cheonan, Yongdungpo, and Yeoksamdong as district-labeled Seoul). Stage labeling skews early-to-mid: many of the 50 rows are “Seed,” “Series A,” and “Venture - Series Unknown,” and “undisclosed” appears repeatedly (10 rows), limiting amount-based comparison for a substantial share.

Frequently asked
What stands out in deal size, and where does the next-largest disclosed amount land?
The largest disclosed round is Snap Company’s $15M (Venture - Series Unknown) on 2025-10-28. The next-largest disclosed amounts are notably lower, including CLE at $11M (Series A) on 2025-11-05 and Bone at $12M (Seed) on 2025-11-21.
Are the most recent rounds concentrated within a short window, or spread evenly?
Most entries cluster in late November: multiple rounds land on 2025-11-30 (Fabric Duct $340K; Buffett Seoul $7M) and 2025-11-28 (Dream Appeal $1M; Frefins undisclosed). The rows span 2025-11-30 down to 2025-10-14, with the “most recent 90 days” equivalent taking you into mid-to-late October given the dataset’s 2025-10-14 oldest date.
Which cities appear most often, and are there notable non-Seoul pockets?
Seoul is the dominant location across entries such as Fabric Duct (Seoul, 2025-11-30) and Redrob (Seocho, 2025-11-22). Outside Seoul, the list includes specific non-Seoul cities like Daejeon (Dream Appeal, 2025-11-28; Oncolab, 2025-11-14) and Cheonan (Save the Farms, 2025-11-26), but these appear less frequently than Seoul-labeled addresses.
How does the stage mix compare across disclosed vs. undisclosed rounds?
Undisclosed amounts recur across multiple stages, including Seed with no disclosed figure (e.g., Frefins on 2025-11-28; Speedfloor on 2025-11-23) and Series B/Series C with undisclosed amounts (e.g., S-Alpha Therapeutics Series C on 2025-11-04). Disclosed amounts are more common in Seeds and Series A, such as Obud $550K (Seed) on 2025-11-21 and Dream Appeal $1M (Series A) on 2025-11-28.
Which sectors show up repeatedly enough to suggest clustering for sales or diligence?
AI appears in many entries across different stages, including Redrob (AI, 2025-11-22, $9M), Bone (AI, 2025-11-21, $12M), and Quantum AI (AI/Analytics/Data, 2025-11-08, $5M). Healthcare also repeats across Seeds and later rounds, such as CloudHospital (2025-11-18, undisclosed) and VPIX Medical (2025-11-02, undisclosed), indicating recurring investor attention.
