The fresh funding brings the startup’s total funds raised to date to $3 million from investors in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. In the latest funding round, IdeaSpace, KMC Founders, and JC Capital also participated.

Cocoon Capital backs payment startup JazzyPay
Payment startup JazzyPay announced that it has secured seed funding of $500,000 in a round led by Singapore’s early-stage venture capital firm Cocoon Capital.
The startup, which processes 27 different payment methods for merchants mainly in the health care and education sectors, said it will use the fresh capital to expand its merchant network in the country and boost its product development capabilities.
JazzyPay was founded in 2018 by Kathleen Acosta and Joshua Marindo and has received a full license from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the country’s central bank, as an operator of payment systems. It currently targets underserved businesses, such as schools, clinics, medical suppliers, and hospitals.
The company said its platform supports not just credit and debit cards but also major e-wallets such as AliPay, CoinsPH, GCash, GrabPay, and WeChat Pay.
