Featuring Secures 15.3 Billion Won in Series B Funding
Featuring announced on the 19th that it has secured 15.3 billion won in Series B funding. Its cumulative investment now totals approximately 22 billion won.
This round included participation from existing investor Stick Ventures, as well as new investors such as Hana Ventures, Kiwoom Investment, Korea Development Bank, and IBK Industrial Bank of Korea.
With this funding, Featuring plans to further advance its vertical artificial intelligence (AI) agent technology—which supports end-to-end automation for influencer marketing—and to focus on recruiting top talent. The company aims to establish itself as an AI solution that sets a new standard for marketing across a wide range of industries, including fashion and beauty.
Featuring also intends to accelerate the expansion of its global client base. Since establishing its Japanese subsidiary last year, the company has pursued Korea-Japan cross-border creator marketing campaigns and strengthened its partner network. To further improve global business performance, Featuring is actively considering mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of local Japanese companies.
