Dunamu & Partners, the investment subsidiary of Dunamu, announced on the 8th that it has made a follow-up investment in Yukhwaehan Project Co., Ltd. (CEO Hong Joo-yeol), which operates an AI-based B2B mental healthcare platform. This investment marks the second consecutive lead investment by Dunamu & Partners, following its first investment in 2024.
The Pleasant Project leverages "FAV (Face & Voice)," an AI multimodal analysis technology jointly developed with psychiatrists. It integrates and analyzes various nonverbal signals, including video, voice, and eye movements, of corporate employees and provides a solution that identifies anxiety, depression, and stress levels within a minute. This technology boasts an accuracy rate of approximately 80% in detecting mental health conditions.
The company supports employee mental health management by integrating FAV technology into Douzone Bizon's ERP system, "Omni-Esol." It also collaborates with SK Group's welfare center, Happy Wings Training Center, to provide customized mental healthcare services to employees of group companies. Currently, the company provides services to 128 companies in Korea. Furthermore, it collaborates with major insurance companies, including DB Life and KB Life, to provide AI-based mental care services for seniors and is working with SK Telecom to advance its social anxiety disorder diagnosis technology. Furthermore, the company offers a variety of partner solutions, including stress relief drinks, subscription teas, sleep management, healing music, and aromatherapy scents.
Dunamu & Partners explained that they decided to make a follow-up investment because they highly valued the fact that the cheerful project has proven its growth potential through its rapid execution centered on actual users and its successive contract results, and that the founder, CEO Hong Joo-yeol, has the experience and drive to successfully sell the meal kit startup 'Tasty Nine'.
CEO Hong Joo-yeol said, “The service of the Pleasant Project is a productivity-maximizing solution that transforms a company’s human capital management from a cost-centered one to a strategic investment, and the mental health of employees is established as a key strategic asset directly related to the organization’s performance.” He added, “We are working with Dunamu & Partners as the optimal partner to actively support and think together about innovative changes, which will be of great help in expanding our business.”
