PH digital health startup GoRocky secures $2m
Philippine-based digital health startup GoRocky has announced raising $2 million in a seed funding round co-anchored by Singapore’s Integra Partners and local venture firm Kaya Founders.
The startup, founded in 2022, said it will use the fresh funds to expand from men’s health into chronic-care services, covering obesity, diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, and hypertension.
GoRocky began by offering discreet care for erectile dysfunction and hair loss and says it has supported more than 30,000 patients. The startup said the new funding will help build a broader platform that links patients with licensed doctors, pharmacies, and diagnostic providers.
“Millions of Filipinos are living with conditions they can’t easily treat, not because they don’t care, but because the system makes it too hard,” said co-founder and chief commercial officer Joaqui Palaña.
GoRocky said all patients undergo medical consultations and diagnostics before treatment; care is delivered by independent licensed physicians, and technology safeguards track and verify therapies.
Thailand’s GetLinks acquires Xccelerate
Thailand-based talent platform GetLinks has acquired Xccelerate, an education technology firm offering digital skills training, according to an announcement.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition pairs GetLinks’ AI-driven job-matching and career tools with Xccelerate’s workforce programmes in artificial intelligence, big data, cybersecurity, and UX/UI design, creating a combined offering for employers and jobseekers across the region.
The companies said the integration will expand access to technical training, widen the talent pool available to hiring managers, and improve placement outcomes through bundled services, including career guidance, verified skills pathways, and employer-aligned curricula.
Post-acquisition, the platforms will coordinate on curriculum updates and credentials, while offering employers targeted hiring campaigns and candidates’ skills-based job recommendations.
