H3 Zoom Raises $3.6 Mn in Series A Round led by JRE VENTURES

The funding round was led by JRE VENTURES, the venture capital arm of East Japan Railway Company, with participation from SGInnovate and M7 Holdings. Earlier, H3 Zoom completed a first close of USD$1.8 million.

The company later secured additional funding through an AngelCentral-led investor syndicate and received further investments from Moringa Ventures and Lotus One Investment. With these investments, the total Series A funding reached USD$3.6 million.

The oversubscribed funding round shows strong investor confidence in H3 Zoom and its technology. The company is helping improve the way buildings, infrastructure, and other important assets are inspected, maintained, and managed.

H3 Zoom combines artificial intelligence, computer vision, proprietary AI models, robotics, and digital inspection tools to make inspections more efficient. Its technology helps asset owners, operators, and regulators replace manual and disconnected processes with smarter, more scalable, and data-driven asset management solutions.

"This oversubscribed Series A close is a strong validation of H3 Zoom's mission to turn building and infrastructure data into actionable intelligence," said Shaun Koo, CEO & Founder of H3 Zoom. "We are grateful for the continued support from JRE VENTURES, SGInnovate and M7 Holdings, and for the backing from AngelCentral's member-led syndicate via AC S525. We are also pleased to welcome Moringa Ventures and Lotus One Investment as new partners in this next phase of growth. With this capital, we will accelerate our AI roadmap, deepen enterprise integrations, and scale across key Asian markets where infrastructure safety, asset resilience and inspection productivity are becoming increasingly important."

"H3 Zoom embodies the next generation of social infrastructure transformation through the power of AI. For the JR East Group, ensuring the safe and sustainable operation of diverse assets, including railways, stations, commercial facilities and hotels, is a shared priority across our businesses. H3 Zoom's technology directly contributes to addressing these challenges. Through this investment, we aim to accelerate H3 Zoom's business expansion and proof-of-concept activities in the Japanese market, while exploring broader collaboration opportunities across Southeast Asia. We strongly believe that H3 Zoom's data-driven approach to infrastructure management will play a vital role in building a safer and more sustainable society," said Junichi Eto, Managing Director, JRE VENTURES.
