Korean startup Dfinite, developer of the AI-powered enterprise data integration platform DARVIS, has secured seed funding from Korea Investment Accelerator and the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME). The company has also been selected for the TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startup Korea) program through Korea Investment Accelerator’s recommendation.

Dfinite plans to deploy the investment and R&D support primarily toward hiring AI engineers and software developers, expanding from its initial focus on manufacturing into finance, retail, and public sectors.

DARVIS is an AI platform that connects data scattered across multiple enterprise systems—including ERP, MES, and SCM—without requiring infrastructure changes, then delivers integrated analysis results through natural language queries. The platform’s core technology is AI-based ontology generation, which allows the system to automatically understand and map relationships between vast datasets that would be difficult for humans to define manually, enabling reliable analysis and predictive capabilities.

Since its founding in 2023, Dfinite has supplied DARVIS to manufacturers in automotive parts, textiles, and materials sectors. In November, the company completed a successful collaboration program with NVIDIA, further advancing the platform’s capabilities. Client companies have achieved measurable results including preventing hundreds of millions of won in annual losses through inventory optimization and defect analysis, reducing new employee training costs by 90%, and cutting document search time by 80%.

“DARVIS’s strength lies in its ability to connect fragmented enterprise data across any industry,” said Dohwan Kim, CEO of Dfinite. “We’ve already validated the platform in manufacturing, where data complexity is highest, and with this investment, we’ll expand into finance, retail, public sectors, and beyond.”

Dfinite was co-founded by CEO Dohwan Kim, CTO Sungmin Kang, and CPO Chanjin Kang, and currently operates with a team of 15.
