ActionPower claims more than 70 domestic and international patents and multiple publications in global AI journals that validate its personalization and high-performance embedding technologies.

Cumulative funding for the company now exceeds ₩20 billion (≈US $15 million).
- Levit
Participated · Series B · Jun 2023
Levit operates Alwayz, a discovery-based e-commerce app that mixes short videos, gamification and social features to make shopping more entertaining and drive daily engagement. The app offers a wide range of products — from groceries and home appliances to apparel and cosmetics — and mainly lists producers and manufacturers through a consumer-to-manufacturer (C2M) model that cuts out intermediaries. Users earn rewards via games (such as nurturing the pig Don-Don-E and the AI-Farm crop game) and can get discounts by watching Shorts or buying with others, supporting a discovery-led shopping experience. Levit says its recommendation algorithms gate exposure to items until they demonstrate conversion and repurchase, helping maintain quality while offering lower prices; the CEO claims average selling prices are around 20% cheaper than the lowest prices on other platforms. The company reports 7 million users, 2.5 million monthly active users, 1.3 million daily active users and nearly 20,000 sellers, and has raised $46 million in a Series B (bringing total funding to $67 million). Levit, launched in September 2021, has a 20-person team and plans to expand to the U.S.; it aims for 12 million registered users, 5 million MAUs and 3 million DAUs by the end of 2023.

Six months after the global subscription launch the company reached 150,000 paid subscribers.

The company plans to use new funding to further refine its subscription service and to develop services that expand the experience spectrum for classmates and creators. Management says it will continue product development to strengthen market competitiveness and foster deeper creator–community interactions. The funding is presented as a springboard for more systematic and accelerated growth. CLASS101 is an online marketplace for creative classes that helps creators monetize skills by selling courses, goods and digital files. The platform provides and ships necessary tools and materials via a "Class Kit" and offers more than 2,000 classes across categories like drawing, crafts, photography, cooking and music.

The company was established in 2018 after pivoting from a tutoring-service platform founded in 2015. CLASS101 launched in the U.S. in 2019, entered Japan in 2020, and opened online classes for kids under 14 in 2020. It plans to use new funding to hire talent, expand domestic business and grow further in the U.S. and Japan while broadening creators' revenue streams. Class101 operates a hobby-focused platform where online users subscribe to “classes” to share interests and hone related skills. Its catalog includes illustration, calligraphy, handicrafts and cooking classes. The service targets users in their 20s and 30s seeking work–life balance and productive use of free time. The company emphasizes content production and platform development as strategic priorities, according to its lead investor. Class101 was founded in 2015 by Ko Ji-yeon, then an undergraduate at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology. Financially, the company has completed a new funding event, adding to an earlier seed round.
