H3 Zoom announced the final close of its oversubscribed USD$3.6 million Series A funding round. The round was led by JRE VENTURES, the corporate venture capital arm of East Japan Railway Company. SGInnovate and M7 Holdings also participated.
Following its earlier first close of USD$1.8 million, H3 Zoom secured additional investment through an AngelCentral member-led syndication via AC S525, bringing the round to USD$2.1 million. The company has now completed its final close with further participation from Moringa Ventures and Lotus One Investment.
H3 Zoom is a Singapore-based deep tech company developing AI-powered inspection and asset-intelligence software for the built environment and critical infrastructure.
The company combines AI, computer vision, proprietary vision-language models, robotics-enabled data capture, and enterprise inspection workflows to help asset owners, operators, and regulators move from manual inspection processes to data-driven asset intelligence.
The funding will support H3 Zoom’s expansion across Asia, with a focus on Japan, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, and Southeast Asia. The company will also use the capital to accelerate product development, strengthen engineering capabilities, deepen enterprise go-to-market execution, and expand integrations across the building and infrastructure lifecycle.
Founded in 2016, H3 Zoom develops software that supports inspections across high-rise buildings, commercial properties, institutional assets, transport-related infrastructure, and public-sector environments.
The company’s platform helps customers reduce inspection cost and time, improve safety, and make asset decisions based on structured data.
In Singapore, H3 Zoom’s AI-powered inspection platform has supported faster and more consistent façade inspections through drone-based data capture, AI-assisted defect analytics, and standardized reporting workflows.
The platform also supports standards-aligned reporting for regulatory inspection requirements, including Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority Periodic Façade Inspection framework.
With the Series A completed, H3 Zoom plans to accelerate software and Service-as-Software growth across Japan, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, and Southeast Asia.
The company also plans to advance its AI roadmap, including its AI Engineering Co-Pilot, multimodal inspection workflows combining 360-degree imagery and voice notes, enterprise-grade APIs, and robotics-assisted inspection capabilities.
