Attracted 1 billion won in pre-seed investment

AI meeting solution startup at (CEO Kim Hyo-jun) announced on the 29th that it has completed a pre-seed investment of a total of 1 billion won, following an initial investment from The Ventures, and has been selected for the 2025 fall batch of Silicon Valley accelerator Y Combinator (YC).

At operates Caret, an AI meeting note-taker for global companies, and Aside, an AI sales meeting assistant. Caret is an integrated AI meeting tool that encompasses everything from voice recognition to workflow automation. It offers real-time transcription, translation, and summarization services without requiring separate installation, and it handles both online and offline meetings and recorded files. It is used by companies like Amazon, Toyota, Eleven Labs, and JP Morgan.

Aside learns from past call records and success patterns to offer real-time, expert advice on everything from technical questions to closing. Integration with HubSpot and Slack allows for instant access to customer conversation history, contract terms, and more. It operates solely on the individual screen, without bot involvement, ensuring data security.

Founded in 2024, At targets the global market with offices in Seoul and San Francisco. With this investment, At will focus on developing new products specifically for the US market, securing North American enterprise customers, and enhancing its global competitiveness by enhancing its AI-based collaboration tools.

The Ventures, a domestic venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments, has expanded its portfolio in the global AI collaboration tools market through this investment in AT. The Ventures actively identifies and supports startups aiming for global expansion across various categories, and will support AT's entry into the North American market and product advancement.

Y Combinator is a global startup accelerator that has produced global tech companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, and Coinbase. In Korea, Sendbird, MarkVision, and Miso have successfully expanded globally through the YC program. The YC acceptance rate is reportedly around 1%, and applicants receive three months of intensive mentoring and seed investment.

Kim Hyo-jun, CEO of @, said, “With the initial support from The Ventures, we laid a solid foundation, which led to our selection for YC.” He added, “Based on the Korean PMF, we will take on new approaches in the US and create a new standard for global collaboration tools.”
