TechNode Global, a pan-Asia tech media startup, has raised $1 million in seed funding led by Kairous Capital (Hong Kong).

Other investors for the round include Nutty Capital Venture (Hong Kong) and SPH Ventures (Singapore).

Founded in early 2019 by Dr. Gang Lu from China, TechNode Global is the extension of China's leading bilingual tech media portal, TechNode.

The company prides itself as "more than just a media company", as it is building a technology community platform to offer insightful news, provide fundraising/deal-flow support, organize regional events, and facilitating corporate-startup partnerships.

Since its launch, TechNode has worked with large corporations ranging from  iFLYTEK, Huawei, Alibaba Cloud, NTUC, and many others.

Moving forward, the new investment will accelerate TechNode Global’s efforts in building pan-Asia’s leading tech media platform. 

The company plans to cover more technology stories, deliver high-quality events, and build comprehensive cross-border business across the region. 

TechNode global currently has an office in Singapore, with plans to set up a branch in Malaysia soon.

"Being a regional VC investing across China and Southeast Asia, we envisage tremendous integration and collaboration opportunities in the technology and business space within the region. TechNode Global being connected with the Asia Pacific technology ecosystem coupled with the recently signed RCEP, we are positive that they will be a key player as a regional innovation enabler in years to come," said Joseph Lee, Managing Partner at Kairous Capital.
