D-Finite (CEO Kim Do-hwan), a startup developing DARVIS, an AI platform for corporate data integration, announced on the 10th that it has secured seed funding from the Korea Investment Accelerator and the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. The company was also selected for the TIPS program upon recommendation from the Korea Investment & Securities Dealers Association.
Definit plans to focus this investment and R&D funding on recruiting AI engineers and software developers, expanding its market to various industries, starting with manufacturing, then finance, distribution, and the public sector.
DARVIS is an AI platform that connects data scattered across various corporate systems, such as ERP, MES, and SCM, without requiring any changes to existing infrastructure, and delivers integrated analysis results simply by asking natural language questions. Its core technology is AI-based ontology creation. It automatically identifies and connects the context between vast amounts of data—a task difficult for humans to define individually—and supports highly reliable analysis and predictions based on this understanding. For example, DARVIS analyzed and connected 430 data tables at Company K in just 45 minutes.
Since its founding in 2023, D-Finite has supplied DARVIS to manufacturers in the automotive, textile, and materials industries. Last November, it completed a collaborative program with NVIDIA, further enhancing platform performance. Companies that have adopted DARVIS have reported benefits such as preventing delivery delays through inventory optimization, preventing hundreds of millions of won in annual losses through root cause analysis of defect rates, reducing new employee training costs by 90%, and reducing document search times by 80%.
Kim Do-hwan, CEO of D-Finite, said, “DARVIS’s strength lies in its ability to connect scattered corporate data regardless of industry,” adding, “We have first completed verification in the manufacturing industry, and through this investment, we will expand into various industries such as finance, distribution, and the public sector.”
