New Delhi [India], June 2: The bespoke fundraising advisory company capitalCORN boldly claims to have been instrumental in obtaining ₹5 crore in seed money for Uni Seoul, a newly launched lifestyle brand inspired by Korea. Sauce VC, a reputable early-stage venture capital firm known for supporting highly potential consumer brands in India, led the round.
Originally founded in 2023 by lifelong friends Mohit Khurana and Gaurav Karmani, Uni Seoul has quickly made a name for itself in the vibrant consumer goods market in India. Combining home basics, beauty products, plush toys, fashion accessories, and stationery, the brand creates an eclectic portfolio of lifestyle choices all imbued with the globally celebrated nuances of Korean design. Anchored in a philosophy of modern minimalism mixed with utilitarian elegance, Uni Seoul is dedicated to democratising access to aesthetically pleasing and useful products for aspirational young Indian consumers.
From first launch, the brand has attracted strong early momentum on both physical retail and digital channels. Uni Seoul, with a growing cult-like following, now wants to deliberately scale its retail presence, strengthen its supply chain infrastructure, and use cutting-edge technologies to improve consumer engagement and whole brand experience.
Reflecting on the successful collaboration, Mohit Khurana, Co-founder and CEO of Uni Seoul, said:
“The capitalCORN team played a pivotal role in helping us close our seed round with Sauce VC. Their strategic inputs, market insight, and fundraising expertise helped us attract serious investor interest.
