South Korea’s small business sales transaction platform Dailypay has secured pre-Series A funding from Ryukyung Asset Management and Primer.  

Established in October 2023, Dailypay helps small business owners maintain stable operations through real-time big data analysis and revenue evaluation technology. By December 2024, the platform achieved a 111.4% increase in daily maximum transaction volume and a 282.4% growth in cumulative settlement volume compared to January of the same year. In addition, December marked a milestone with record-breaking performance across key metrics, including monthly revenue and daily transaction volume.  

Building on this rapid growth, Dailypay raised pre-Series A funding just five months after its seed funding in July. The round included follow-up investment from existing investor Primer and new participation from Ryukyung Asset Management.  

Dailypay was also selected for the TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startups) initiative in August 2024 and the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund’s (KODIT) “Little Penguin” startup growth support program in October. Through these programs, the company secured R&D funding and guarantee support. The latest investment further strengthens its foundation for stable growth.  

CEO Lee Hae-woo remarked, “It is meaningful that our existing investor demonstrated trust with a follow-up investment and that a regulated financial institution joined as a new investor, creating potential synergies. In 2025, we plan to enhance our services with AI and data, accelerate growth, expand our market share, and strengthen our competitiveness.”
