Delivus

The company's founding team brings significant entrepreneurial experience to the logistics industry. CEO Kim Yong-jae previously founded the AI-based educational platform 'Knowre' in 2012 and successfully sold it to Daekyo in 2018. CTO Baek Jin-wook co-founded the global IT concert planning service 'MyMusicTaste,' which was acquired by Com2us in 2022. Their stated motivation for entering the logistics market is to innovate a large, growing industry they perceive as having limited technological adoption.

Delivus differentiates itself by drastically reducing the time required for returns and exchanges from the typical 3-4 days to just one day. This is achieved through proprietary, data-driven technology, including an AI deep learning-based 'Dynamic Clustering' system. This system analyzes various factors affecting delivery time to create optimized daily delivery routes, cutting the conventional delivery process in half and enabling competitive pricing comparable to standard courier services. The company has demonstrated high reliability, citing a 99% on-time delivery success rate with major clients like Kakao Style's 'Zigzag' fashion platform.

Financially, Delivus has shown consistent growth, securing a 4.6 billion KRW Series A funding round in April 2023 and a subsequent 14.6 billion KRW Series B round in July 2024. The cumulative investment now stands at 22.4 billion KRW. These funds are earmarked for building new automated logistics hubs and further advancing their AI-based optimization technology. Initially launched in the Seoul metropolitan area, the service has expanded to other regions in Korea with plans for nationwide coverage.
