- Ludens AI
Participated · Equity · Apr 2026
Ludens AI develops AI-equipped companion robots, including models named “Cocomo” and “INU,” that use voice, movement, and spatial awareness to interact with people. The company exhibited at CES 2026, receiving broad media attention and new business opportunities. It is positioning its products to become a supportive presence in daily life rather than just a tool. Ludens AI recently raised approximately ¥600 million in an angel financing round to accelerate product development and R&D. The firm plans to use the funds to hire engineering talent and expand business development efforts both domestically and internationally.
- LobbyAI
Participated · Series A · Mar 2026
LobbyAI builds an AI-driven platform that parses and structures vast administrative and public documents—such as council speeches, budget materials, planning documents, laws, and committee materials—to make policy trends and proposal opportunities visible. It offers three business lines: a SaaS administrative/public information database (LobbyAI Local / LobbyAI Gov), BPO research and consulting for lobbying and public–private partnership support, and custom administrative-document-focused AI agents and chatbots. The company was founded in January 2025 and launched its database product in July 2025, and has already been adopted by over 20 customers including large corporations, municipal-related firms, policy engagement teams, and startups. LobbyAI intends to further develop administrative-specialized AI models, enhance deep-research functionality, and evolve its AI agents using the newly raised capital. Management emphasizes positioning 2026 as the "first year of lobbying" and aims to reduce information asymmetry in the public procurement and policymaking process to enable data-driven, reproducible lobbying and public-market access.
- RLWRLD
Participated · Seed · Apr 2025
RLWRLD is a physical AI company building robotics intelligence that collects and learns from on-site industrial data, enabling robots to understand their environments and make autonomous decisions. After completing initial technology verification, the firm is now running joint proof-of-concept (PoC) and RX (robotic transformation) projects with major Korean companies such as CJ Logistics and Lotte, and is expanding trials in Japan through partner Z Venture. Management states that real-world validation is critical and plans to officially release a robotics foundation model in the first half of 2026. Demand for its technology is rising amid East Asia’s labor shortages, driving interest from strategic partners that control large industrial sites. Financially, RLWRLD secured about US$15 million in a Seed 1 round and has now added roughly US$26 million in Seed 2 financing, bringing cumulative seed funding to approximately US$41 million. The fresh capital supports continued product development and broader global collaborations. Key backers include Headline Asia, CJ Logistics Corporation, Kakao Investment, LOTTE Ventures, Hanwha Asset Management, Mirae Asset·emart and Z Venture.

The company has built Maker H01, a high-degree-of-freedom humanoid robot designed for dexterous operation and mobile interaction, and reports commercial implementation in automotive, 3C, warehousing, and home-service scenarios with a target delivery volume in the thousands this year. In autonomous driving the firm released DriveDreamer and related simulators that have served more than 30 leading automotive OEMs and autonomous driving companies. For content production it is developing the Yisu Engine, integrating ultra-long-duration video generation, a real-time 3D world model framework, and 3D human generation tools. GigaAI reports building an industry-leading data base, projecting over 1 million hours of high-quality visual-action data and more than 10 million hours of pre-training data this year.

- Diver-X
Participated · Series A · Jun 2024
Diver-X researches, develops, and sells XR interface hardware and solutions, with a flagship product ContactGlove — a VR glove controller with haptic feedback using shape‑memory alloy (SMA) and linear vibrators (LRA). The company was founded in March 2021 and builds on hand‑tracking, haptics, and motion‑tracking technologies to target consumer and enterprise XR use cases. Its business model includes six monetization points (technology licensing, solutions, consumer products, OEM, and hardware‑anchored B2B and B2C software), and the firm reports revenue from all but the hardware‑anchored B2C software channel. Operating metrics disclosed include cumulative XR interface shipments in the several‑thousand range and an overseas sales mix above 30%, with primary markets in North America, Europe, and Korea. Customers span social VR users (e.g., VRChat), VTubers/productions, manufacturing, and medical segments. Diver‑X plans to accelerate HID R&D and manufacturing and expand manufacturing‑sector solutions and finished products using its core technologies.
