Funding Details

What the Company Does

DEEP.FINE builds an industrial Spatial AI platform — integrating smart glasses, computer vision, spatial computing, and on-site data analytics into a single stack that lets frontline workers in factories, logistics centers, and construction sites receive visual work instructions through AR glasses while their employers digitize the entire floor operation.

The core product chains "dispatch → guided execution → result verification → logging → operational analytics" into a single data flow and plugs directly into customers' existing WMS, ERP, and MES systems to prevent on-site data from becoming an island. Product lines include LOGI.FINE for logistics, DAO for field support, and DSC for 3D modeling.

Customers span logistics, manufacturing, shipbuilding, defense, and maintenance. The company has already partnered with Hyundai Motor Group, LS Group, and other major conglomerates, and won a CES 2025 Innovation Award. This round is explicitly earmarked for shifting from project-based custom delivery to scalable enterprise SaaS subscriptions.

What This Round Signals

Significance for the Agent Ecosystem

This is a rare Agent funding round focused squarely on the physical industrial floor. Most Agent startups still cluster around software, customer service, and code — purely digital scenarios. DEEP.FINE demonstrates that the next Agent battleground is extending into heavy industry with smart glasses, sensors, and physical workflows, not just chat windows on screens.

What Investors Are Betting On

Hyosung Ventures and POSCO Technology Investment are both corporate VCs rooted in South Korean heavy industry. By leading a round for an "on-site AI Agent" company, they are betting that "digital twin + Agent-guided workflows" will become the standard tool for reducing workforce training costs and improving safety audit efficiency in manufacturing and logistics — a market that pure-software companies armed only with general-purpose LLMs cannot easily capture.

Numbers Worth Watching

• Of the cumulative ₩18B raised, this Series B alone accounts for more than half (₩10B), signaling that investor confidence in the current scale-up plan far exceeds what it was at earlier stages.
• The team has grown to only 56 people over seven years, an exceptionally capital-efficient track record (~$11.9M sustaining seven years of operations and multi-country projects). Compared to Silicon Valley peers that burn through cash, DEEP.FINE follows the lean playbook typical of Korean manufacturing.
• The customer list already includes chaebol-tier enterprises like Hyundai Motor Group and LS Group, indicating the challenge ahead is replicability, not whether the product can land large enterprise accounts.

Watchlist Status

DEEP.FINE is not yet on the watchlist. Recommended for section D9 (Industrial / Manufacturing / Supply Chain), tracked alongside Infor, Plataine, and Trimble. Key tracking angle: smart-glasses + spatial-computing on-site Agent platform, $6.6M Series B, led by South Korean heavy-industry corporate VCs.

Takeaway

It is easy to default to thinking of "AI Agents" as chat windows on a software interface. DEEP.FINE is a reminder that when the work environment itself is data-sparse and heavily dependent on human visual judgment, an Agent's value lies not in conversational ability but in whether it can turn what smart glasses see and what sensors read into real-time actionable guidance and auditable records.
