Korea's Metarogy raises early VC from CNT Tech for 3D exhibition platform
What's the deal? MetarogyDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a South Korean startup building immersive 3D content, has raised early-stage venture funding from CNT TechDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, the company announced on September 14. The investment came through CNT Tech's proprietary account, and the amount was undisclosed by mutual agreement.
What does it do? Founded in February 2024, Metarogy has built an AI and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) pipeline that reconstructs physical spaces into real-time 3D. Its flagship service, ON:展, moves 3D design competitions online, letting participants visualise contest sites anywhere in the country and place submitted 3D models onto actual terrain.
Why it matters: Metarogy says its engine cuts modelling that once required costly equipment and weeks of work down to a single day, lowering operating and production costs by 40% to 60%. It also archives thousands of student and public design proposals as reusable 3D data for urban planning and policy use — assets that previously disappeared after one-off events.
What's the endgame? The startup is extending the same 3DGS engine from spaces to people. Its digital health product, Nunbody, generates a 3D body avatar from a single smartphone photo and tracks changes across 11 body areas, targeting fitness and senior healthcare markets.
Metarogy has registered one core engine patent and filed two more. Its 3DGS-AI solution features in partner GENKSDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →'s water purification system, which won a CES 2026 Innovation Award (Honoree).
What's next? Chief executive officer Jang Seok-bong said the company will use the funding and accelerating support to speed ON:展's entry into the public sector (B2G) and standardise it nationwide. The goal, he said, is to become "a global digital platform company that connects and monetises reality in 3D, from spaces to bodies" (translated from Korean).
The signal: CNT Tech is betting on deep tech that makes heavy 3D rendering run lightly on web and mobile. A CNT Tech representative said Metarogy has "high potential" to grow across digital twin and global healthcare markets on the back of its accumulated 3D data (translated from Korean).
