Fatagora, a startup tackling the reliability crisis in generative AI, has closed a strategic investment round from Gyeonggi Center for Creative Economy & Innovation (Gyeonggi CCEI), Asia2G Capital, and Plug and Play through a club deal. While the company didn’t disclose the investment amount, it also landed a spot in the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ prestigious Global TIPS program.

The company is building technology to solve one of AI’s biggest problems: hallucination, when AI systems confidently present false information as fact. Fatagora’s solution verifies whether AI-generated answers are actually true and still accurate today. The startup has already proven its technology works through pilots with major Korean law firms and international financial institutions. Now it’s pushing into North America and Europe, targeting industries like legal, finance, and ESG where getting facts right isn’t optional.

The three co-investors are dividing responsibilities to accelerate Fatagora’s path to unicorn status. Gyeonggi CCEI is unlocking government funding and infrastructure through its Global TIPS recommendation, while Asia2G Capital and Plug and Play are opening doors in North America—connecting the startup with local partners and lining up follow-on investment opportunities.

Wonkyung Kim, CEO of Gyeonggi CCEI, called Fatagora “a perfect example of what we’re trying to achieve—spotting promising startups through co-investment with global partners and connecting them straight to Global TIPS.” He added that as a global strategic hub, the center will provide end-to-end support “from investment to government funding to overseas networks, helping Korean startups compete on the world stage.”

Wooyeol Baek, Fatagora’s CEO, said the investment and Global TIPS selection will help the company expand pilots with North American companies. “We’re launching our product in 2026, and we need to build up real-world use cases fast,” Baek explained. “The goal isn’t just to develop the technology—it’s to become the AI infrastructure that companies actually rely on when trust matters most.”
