Korean capital keeps showing up in overseas megadeals — five weeks running.

Precision Neuroscience raised a $250M Series D for its minimally invasive brain chip, co-led by Pershing Square and the Ackman-Oxman Institute, with Mirae Asset Capital and Korea Investment Partners among the participants. That makes five straight weeks a Korean conglomerate or investor has shown up in an overseas megaround: Samsung Electronics led Mistral's €3B Series D; Samsung also backed AI-security firm Alice's $140M round; Naver backed Positron AI's $875M raise; Samsung Electronics joined Dutch inference-chip startup EUCLYD's €200M+ Series A; and Mirae Asset led China's D-Robotics to a $400M Series C. A different company and a different sector each week — sovereign AI, AI security, inference chips, robotics chips, and now brain-computer interfaces — points to broad-based Korean capital participation in overseas megadeals rather than a bet on any one sector.

Two Korean AI companies advance toward IPO and enterprise deployment.
