Finders AI Secures 5 Billion Won Investment in Pre-B Funding Round

Accelerating the Expansion of AI Unmanned Store Solutions

Finders AI announced on the 18th that it has secured an investment of approximately 5 billion won in its Pre-B series funding round.

Finders AI attracted strategic investment (SI) from a domestic food distribution and manufacturing company in this round. The company explained that, leveraging the investor’s nationwide distribution network, product supply chain, and offline retail operation expertise, it has established a foundation to quickly implement and expand its artificial intelligence (AI) unmanned solutions in actual distribution sites. With this investment, Finders AI plans to accelerate the digital transformation of retail environments and the expansion of unmanned store models.

Founded in 2020, Finders AI is a company specializing in computer vision AI-based payment and operations automation technology, developing and providing unmanned solutions that enhance the efficiency of offline stores and improve customer experience. Its flagship products include the 'AI Automated Checkout Counter (VCO)', which supports payment for even barcode-free products using AI image recognition; a fully automated unmanned store solution capable of automating store operations, inventory management, and payments; and a micro store solution with minimal installation space and modular design adaptable to various environments. Last year, Finders AI established a subsidiary in Japan and has been expanding its business into overseas markets such as Singapore and Japan.

Min Kwon Wang, Co-CEO of Finders AI, stated, "This investment is a testament to the market's renewed recognition of our technological competitiveness and ability to execute in the field," adding, "In particular, through collaboration with a strategic investor who has extensive experience and networks in the distribution industry, we expect to rapidly expand the application of our AI unmanned solutions in actual retail sites."
