  • Goi

    Participated · Series A · Apr 2024

    Founded in 2021, Goi operates a digital funeral-service platform that allows customers to secure future funeral arrangements with a symbolic contract deposit of just ₩100 per month. The company handles the entire funeral process, positioning itself as a modern alternative to traditional Korean funeral cooperatives. Goi’s subscription-based model has already signed up 50,000 members, demonstrating early product–market fit and rapid user growth. Management plans to expand service coverage and enhance its digital platform to streamline end-of-life logistics. Financially, the firm has secured a cumulative ₩11.9 billion (≈$9 million) in venture funding, giving it runway to scale operations and marketing. The recently raised Series A proceeds will be used to bolster technology, widen partner networks, and accelerate subscriber acquisition. While revenue figures were not disclosed, the large and growing subscriber base underpins recurring income potential and data-driven upsell opportunities.
