SEOUL, May 3 (Korea Bizwire) — Swingvy, a Singapore-based human resource platform company, said Friday it has raised US$7 million from a group of investors led by South Korean tech giant Samsung’s venture capital investment arm.
Swingvy said it has raised the investment in a Series A round of funding led by Samsung Venture Investment Corp. and other investors, paving the way to expand its presence in Asia, starting with Taiwan.
A Series A round of financing is the first round of financing that a startup receives from a venture capital firm.
