XM HoldCo Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively the “XM Group”) are pleased to announce that it has completed its latest round of fundraising, led by AIOX Apex Angel Fund (“AIOX”), together with some of its existing institutional shareholders including Heliconia Capital Management Pte Ltd and ICH Capital.
XM Group is a multiple award-winning producer of handcrafted, hand-painted luxury art collectibles. It is an established leading player in the global luxury collectibles industry that sells into the US, Europe, China, and Southeast Asian regions. As an official licensee of highly sought after Intellectual Property (IP) licenses, XM Studios has produced collectibles for some of the most recognisable brands in pop culture, including Marvel, DC, Transformers, and iconic Japanese characters such as Ultraman and Godzilla.
With XM Group’s growing portfolio of global IP licenses, it is well-positioned to capitalise on a surging global demand for luxury art collectibles. AIOX’s experience and knowledge in various areas such as blockchain and technology will also provide a holistic boost to XM Group. XM Group will work closely with AIOX and other strategic institutional shareholders to leverage its expertise and global network in digital technology and pop culture entertainment to accelerate XM Group’s growth and international expansion.
