Aim Intelligence, an artificial intelligence security specialist, announced Thursday that it has raised 10 billion won ($7 million) in Series A funding.
Samsung Venture Investment led the round. Existing investor Mirae Asset Capital participated alongside new investors Forest Ventures and Smilegate Investment. The funding brings Aim Intelligence's cumulative investment to approximately 12 billion won.
Aim Intelligence enhances safety for individuals and enterprises by providing integrated security management across various AI domains, including large language models (LLMs), AI agents, and physical AI. The company continuously elevates security standards through a "sword and shield" cycle, combining red team solutions that identify vulnerabilities in AI models and related services with guardrail solutions that establish safeguards to prevent AI from engaging in risky behavior. The company has demonstrated its technical capabilities through publications in globally authoritative AI academic journals.
With this funding, Aim Intelligence plans to accelerate its global market expansion and business-to-business operations by recruiting key talent and advancing its solutions. The strategy involves expanding its automated AI red-teaming platform and enhancing technical capabilities through B2B SaaS-based AI guardrail solutions. The company also plans to recruit white-hat hackers and LLM engineers at the forefront of security technology to develop more advanced attack techniques and defense algorithms.
"Aim Intelligence will go beyond simple security diagnostics to create a global standard for AI safety that manages all risks arising in enterprises' AI innovation processes," CEO Yoo Sang-yoon said.
