Two rounds, open.
Imali, a fintech platform in South Africa, and Chingu, a voice AI companion for elderly Koreans, are both live and raising pre-seed. We’ve kept this page short on purpose. The deck, the data room and the rest are a message away.
R2.4M at 10% equity.
₩2.5B at ₩5B pre.
One founder. Two markets.
Both products run inside Ebenworks today. Per-jurisdiction operating entities form as compliance and banking require, and the SAFE-issuing entity is confirmed at signing. You can back one product, the other, or both.
Imali has been a live pilot across Gauteng and the Western Cape since April 2026. Chingu has been deployed in production in Korea since 25 March 2026. Both are pre-seed, raising now. The founder goes full-time on the company in Q4 2026.
Deck and data room. On request.
The pitch decks, financial model, traction, risks, use of funds and Series A triggers all sit in the deck and data room. Pick the “Investor · pre-seed SAFE” option on the contact form, or write directly. Materials usually go out the same day.
NDA on request.
