Naver D2SF Makes New Investments in Two Startups in AI and Fitness Technology Fields

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Naver's startup incubation organization D2SF announced on the 19th that it has made new investments in two technology startups in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and fitness.

The startups receiving investment are ‘Some,’ which is developing an AI technology-based enterprise collaboration solution, and ‘Fit,’ a solution developer that analyzes individual exercise capabilities based on data and prescribes appropriate workouts.

Some is developing a solution that analyzes, summarizes, and searches unstructured data within companies using AI technologies such as natural language processing and machine learning. The goal is to streamline tasks involving unstructured data in enterprises, such as meeting minutes creation, document sharing, and history search.

Some’s first product is a video meeting assistant that automatically records and summarizes meeting content, extracts a “to do list,” and integrates with other collaboration tools like Slack. The first prototype has been completed, and a closed beta test (CBT) targeting English-speaking tech companies is scheduled to begin early next year.

This investment in Some was made jointly with Kakao Ventures, FuturePlay, and KDB Capital.

Fit has developed a solution that analyzes individual exercise capabilities such as cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle strength, and joint mobility based on data, and prescribes customized workouts. While most fitness solutions only record types and repetitions of exercises, Fit focuses on evaluating each individual’s exercise ability to design optimal workout methods, thereby supporting systematic health management.

Previously, exercise tests required equipment worth hundreds of millions of won and examination fees of millions of won at large hospitals, but Fit has independently developed an exercise testing algorithm that can be used in daily life without specialized equipment.

Fit’s solution has already been adopted by professional teams such as the women’s professional volleyball team GS Caltex Seoul Kixx and the German Olympic Training Center ‘Rheinland,’ proving its reliability.

Meanwhile, since its launch in 2015, Naver D2SF has invested in 75 technology startups. Currently, Naver D2SF is recruiting new investment teams through its website and is promoting various synergies between Naver and technology startups.
