- Typecast (aka Neosapience)
Participated · Equity · Jan 2026
Founded in 2017 by former Qualcomm engineers and KAIST graduates, Neosapience develops Typecast, a generative voice platform built on proprietary “smart emotion” technology that analyzes scripts line-by-line to deliver context-appropriate tone and delivery. The system produces highly expressive synthetic voices from only a few minutes of source audio, enabling rich performances that extend well beyond the original recording. More than 2 million registered users—including broadcasters, telecom firms, e-commerce companies, and educators—employ Typecast for content creation and localization. The company is expanding its multilingual capabilities, prioritizing English, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese voices. Neosapience is now moving beyond basic voice generation toward real-time conversational AI that can listen, think, and respond. Recent funding is earmarked for global expansion, continued R&D, and further advancement of its emotionally intelligent speech synthesis.

The company is rolling out an alliance program with 14 domestic security vendors and plans to formally launch the XDR product in the first half of next year. Having proven its software-as-a-service capability with multiple Korean customers, Logpresso intends to enter Japan first and then expand into North America and Western Europe. Management is targeting an initial public offering in 2028, with Daishin Securities serving as lead underwriter.
