K25.ai to complete its US$10 million Pre-A at a US$100 million valuation and is now raising its Series A to accelerate product launch and regional expansion NewGen’s expanded stake and exclusive Asia-Pacific agency rights deepen its strategic participation in K25.ai’s next phase of growth BANGKOK, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIVF Group Limited (Nasdaq: NIVF) (“NewGen” or the “Company”), a technology-driven, diversified growth company, today announced that it has executed an agreement for a further US$4 million strategic investment in K25.ai. The transaction completes K25.ai’s US$10 million Pre-A round at a US$100 million valuation and, upon completion and satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions, is expected to increase NewGen’s aggregate ownership interest in K25.ai to 10%. With the Pre-A round now closed, K25.ai has commenced its Series A fundraising. The investment follows NewGen’s initial US$2 million investment announced in May 2026 and its subsequent US$4 million investment announced on June 4, 2026. The completed US$10 million Pre-A provides K25.ai with strategic backing as it moves toward product launch, while the newly launched Series A is intended to support commercialization, applicable regulatory licensing and expansion across selected Asian markets. K25.ai is an AI-native livestreaming and watch-to-predict information market platform purpose-built for Asia-Pacific. Positioned as “Twitch × Polymarket × ChatGPT,” K25.ai is developing a new category of interactive information markets that combines creator-led livestreaming, AI-assisted market creation and resolution, and real-time community participation. NewGen believes the expanded investment provides early strategic exposure to a differentiated platform operating at the convergence of artificial intelligence, livestreaming and prediction-market infrastructure. The transaction reflects NewGen’s conviction in the long-term potential of AI-powered information markets and K25.ai’s ability to build a category-defining platform for Asia-Pacific, subject to execution, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. Beyond its equity ownership, NewGen holds exclusive Asia-Pacific agency rights with K25.ai, creating an additional commercial pathway to support regional partnerships and distribution across permitted markets. Together, the expected 10% ownership position and agency relationship would provide NewGen with meaningful economic participation and strong strategic alignment with K25.ai’s regional growth. Alfred Siu, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NewGen, commented, “Entering into this additional agreement to complete our aggregate US$10 million commitment to K25.ai and securing an expected 10% ownership position at the same US$100 million Pre-A valuation represents a compelling strategic milestone for NewGen. We believe K25.ai is building a highly differentiated platform at the intersection of AI, livestreaming and information markets. Together with our exclusive Asia-Pacific agency rights, this expanded investment positions NewGen to participate meaningfully in K25.ai’s product launch, commercialization and next phase of regional growth.” Andy Cheung, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of K25.ai, commented, “The successful close of our US$10 million Pre-A at a US$100 million valuation marks a defining milestone for K25.ai and provides strong strategic validation for our vision of building Asia-Pacific’s next-generation AI-powered information market. With NewGen’s backing, our Pre-A is now complete and we have officially commenced our Series A fundraising. We are raising this Series A at a meaningful step-up valuation, which we believe reflects the strong momentum and investor interest K25.ai has generated since our Pre-A. This next round is designed to accelerate product launch, advance applicable regulatory licensing in selected Asian markets, deepen our creator and strategic partner ecosystem, and position K25.ai for its next phase of regional growth.” Further details regarding the Agreement and the proposed transaction will be included in a Form 6-K to be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
