TG Society (CEO Seokjun Oh), operator of "Driving School Teacher," a driving school price comparison and booking platform, announced on the 21st that it has secured 2.8 billion won in Series A funding. This follow-up funding, two years after its seed round in 2023, will allow the company to accelerate platform advancement and business expansion.
Fast Ventures and Korea Credit Guarantee Fund participated as new investors in this investment, while existing investor Strong Ventures made a follow-up investment.
Driving Teacher is a platform that allows users to compare tuition, reviews, shuttle routes, and other information at driving schools nationwide, and even make online reservations. By digitizing the entire registration process, consumers can streamline their selection and registration processes, while schools can improve operational efficiency through ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems.
Based on this business model, Driving Instructor surpassed KRW 1 billion in monthly transactions as of December 2024, and in the second quarter of 2025, it achieved its first quarterly profit and net income of KRW 100 million. This is considered a case that demonstrates the platform's profitability and scalability.
With this investment, TG Society plans to enhance its platform's functionality. Beyond simple reservation functionality, it will evolve into a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform capable of integrated management of academy sales, operations, and marketing. It will also develop an AI-based recommendation system and customized advertising solutions.
Furthermore, the strategy aims to leverage accumulated academy and user data to establish standardized indicators for the driving education market and contribute to increased transparency across the industry. Currently, the company is expanding into new businesses, including AI-based driver's license test preparation content, advertising, and data analysis solutions.
While expanding its business in the domestic market, TG Society is also pursuing overseas expansion. It has set a target of 8 billion won in annual sales by 2026 and plans to enter overseas driving education markets, including Japan. Specifically, it plans to expand its Korean driving education platform model, focusing on regions with underdeveloped digital systems, to strengthen its global competitiveness.
“This investment is a crucial step toward accelerating the digital transformation of the driving education industry,” said Oh Seok-jun, CEO of TG Society. “We will continue to enhance our platform to create a data-driven, safe, and efficient driving education ecosystem.”
