  • Frefins — Frefins is a specialized Rental Transformation (RX) company that generates value by connecting businesses, financial institutions, and consumers.
  • NexThera — Nexcera provides innovative and sustainable medical solutions.
  • Plantner — PLANTNER develops environmentally friendly polymers that utilizes the controlled-release characteristics of alginate, a polymer derived from seaweed, along with natural controlled-release fertilizers to substitute current chemical products. Concurrently, the company is engaged in research and development as well as local field trials in Korea andVietnam. These innovations are directly aimed at promoting low-input sustainable agriculture. The organization is committed to tackling the unsustainable practices prevalent in conventional agriculture through the use of slow-release fertilizers, aspiring to foster eco-friendly advancements rooted in natural materials, beginning with agriculture, which is the cornerstone of the industry. In traditional agricultural settings, the significant loss of chemical fertilizers has resulted in nutrient depletion, leading to soil degradation issues such as acidification. This reduction in soil productivity compels farmers to resort to even greater quantities of chemicals to enhance yields, thereby perpetuating a detrimental cycle of increasing overuse. As a response, coated slow-release fertilizers have been introduced; however, their synthetic polymer coatings have contributed to the buildup of microplastics in the soil, harming the habitats of beneficial microorganisms and generating additional environmental challenges. To mitigate these concerns, ongoing research and development efforts are focused on substituting the conventional coating materials of slow-release fertilizers which are responsible for environmental issues like residual microplastics with alginate, a biodegradable polymer sourced from seaweed.

  • MangoBoost — Data Processing Unit (DPU) is a next-generation server accelerator designed to orchestrate various intra-server devices (e.g., CPU, GPU, SSD, NPU, NIC). By maximizing the datacenter’s overall performance and cost efficiency, DPU is now considered as the most important HW/SW solution to realize the next-generation extreme-scale AI serverinfrastructure. However, despite its critical necessity from the datacenter and AI infrastructure, there is no market-leading DPU solution which can meet the customer’s actual demand due to its HW/SW complexity and the application/model heterogeneity. MangoBoost is currently the world’s most highly recognized DPU startup located in US and Korea. We provide the world’s most advanced and flexible DPU HW/SW solutions in order to fully satisfy the needs of various customers. Our DPU HW is fully composable by integrating its rich set of DPU features to construct our customer-optimal DPUs. At the same time, our DPU SW enables to seamlessly deploy the solution to any customer environment. As a result, our DPU solutions are considered very promising to realize the next-generation AI/datacenter infrastructure, and thus they are currently evaluated at various global-leading companies. MangoBoost was founded in early 2022 to commercialize 7 year of top-tier DPU research outcomes achieved at Seoul National University (e.g., many full-system DPU prototypes, many ISCA/MICRO/ASPLOS/OSDI/ATC papers). The current team consists of 45+ system engineers including ~20 top-tier PhDs from Carnegie Mellon University, Seoul National University, POSTECH, U Toronto, and ~20 industry experts from Intel, Microsoft, Samsung, and Naver.
