Whif operates in 13 countries and derives roughly 40% of revenue from overseas markets, targeting over 60% by year-end.

Botanika is building an infrastructure network focused on three pillars: DePIN to supply distributed hardware, RWA concepts to structure ownership, and AI workloads to drive real usage. Its first product iteration, NIMBUS, is described as an infrastructure stack designed to generate revenue from actual demand rather than token inflation. The team positions the project as a response to concentration risks in AI infrastructure and aims to distribute ownership across a broader set of participants. Botanika has raised $1.5 million in its announced round, with proceeds earmarked for developing its hardware network, token economics and ecosystem on Solana. Several investors and angels in the round are connected to Solana-native projects, underscoring the company’s alignment with that ecosystem.

Founded in 2018, Scone develops and operates virtual intellectual property by combining in-house 3D motion-capture technology with live-streaming production tools. The company has launched roughly 40 virtual characters, including the VTuber group “Meechu,” giving it one of the largest virtual character portfolios in Korea. Scone’s model allows human artists to co-create content while the company centrally manages the IP, generating revenue through live donations, merchandise, advertising, and secondary content adaptations. In 2024, revenue from its virtual IP division grew more than four-fold year over year. With fresh capital, Scone plans to extend its IP into games, web novels, webtoons, AI chatbots, and trading card games while also pursuing virtual IP partnerships in Japan, China, and Taiwan. Ongoing collaborations with past strategic investors Naver D2SF and SM Culture Partners are expected to accelerate these initiatives. The company positions itself as a platform enabling creators in overlooked sectors to establish new stages through virtual technology.

Peb is a Korean hybrid-casual mobile game developer founded by former Treeplla executives Seok Kang and Cheolyong Kim. The team focuses on games that combine simple controls with progression-driven monetization and long-term retention mechanics. Peb’s first project, Dig & Roll, features dice-based digging gameplay and is targeting a global launch in the first half of 2026 under a recently signed publishing agreement with Treeplla. Although the company is only a few months old and has not yet released a product, its founders previously worked on Cat Snack Bar, a title that exceeded 40 million global downloads, demonstrating strong live-ops experience. With its seed financing secured, Peb intends to expand Dig & Roll internationally, prototype additional hybrid-casual concepts, and gradually build internal publishing capabilities. The company has so far raised $690,000 in equity capital and has not disclosed any revenues or active user metrics of its own. Execution discipline and global scalability remain core priorities as Peb moves from funding to production.
