AI Transformation Startup Vibers Secures Seed Investment from Kakao Ventures and Seoul National University Technology Holdings

Developing "Maestro" for End-to-End AI Transformation Management
Maximizing Success with an Actionable AX Structure
Core Team Comprised of Talent from Toss, Coupang, AWS, and Google
"Poised to Grow as the Leading AX Partner in the AI Renaissance Era"

Vibers, a startup specializing in AI transformation (AX), announced on November 18 that it has secured a seed investment of 1.1 billion KRW from Kakao Ventures and Seoul National University Technology Holdings.

Vibers is developing "Maestro," an integrated solution that transforms enterprise data and work processes with AI. The AI analyzes complex enterprise data structures, automatically generates optimal data relationship models, and trains customized agents to automate marketing operations management processes. At the same time, the company deploys a Trinity AX Squad-teams composed of business strategists, technology, and product experts-on-site at client companies to handle the entire process from problem definition to solution design, implementation, and feedback.

Vibers aims to reduce the complexity of AI adoption within organizations by combining its AX solution with an execution team, ultimately building an actionable AI transformation platform that delivers real results for businesses. The company has also established a secure environment for AI adoption by meeting global security certification standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO27001. Within just three months of incorporation, clients from a wide range of industries-including beauty, finance, healthcare, marketing, and education-are already utilizing Maestro.

The Vibers team is led by CEO Shin Jaein, who previously worked as a product owner at Toss, and includes core talent with experience in AI, cloud, and system architecture from Coupang, AWS, and Google.

With this investment, Vibers plans to expand its domestic enterprise client base and accelerate its entry into the North American market. In particular, the company will begin offering local marketing AI solutions to K-beauty, food, and culture companies entering the United States, and aims to rapidly penetrate the broader North American distribution and consumer goods markets by leveraging accumulated data.

Jang Dongwook, Director at Kakao Ventures, and Kim Youngmoo, Investment Manager at Kakao Ventures, commented, "Vibers is delivering rapid and sophisticated AX with a small team, thanks to its organizationally embedded AI capabilities, and is driving innovation in customer satisfaction. Based on practical experience at leading big tech companies, they are poised to penetrate the market faster and more sharply than anyone else."

CEO Shin Jaein stated, "Today, AI is no longer just a technology but the language of business and the mindset of organizations. Starting with Maestro, we will build an AI operating system (OS) that encompasses all aspects of enterprise operations-including marketing, customer management, and finance/accounting-and set a new global standard for AI transformation. In the era of the AI renaissance, we will grow to become the most trusted AX partner, bridging data and execution."
