TLDR: AIM Intelligence has successfully raised $1.3 million in Pre-A funding, spearheaded by Mirae Asset Capital, with additional investments from Bluepoint Partners, Z Venture Capital, and Mashup Ventures. This capital infusion is earmarked to accelerate the development of robust infrastructure aimed at establishing global benchmarks for the safety and control of generative AI systems.
Seoul, South Korea – AIM Intelligence, a leading innovator in artificial intelligence security, announced today the successful closure of its Pre-A funding round, securing $1.3 million. The investment round was led by Mirae Asset Capital, with significant contributions from Bluepoint Partners (through the LG U+ Strategic Fund), Z Venture Capital (ZVC), and follow-on investor Mashup Ventures. This substantial funding arrives at a critical juncture, as the demand for secure and aligned AI technologies reaches unprecedented levels.
The newly acquired capital will be strategically deployed to expedite the development of essential infrastructure designed to ensure the safety, alignment, and controllability of next-generation generative AI systems. AIM Intelligence is committed to tackling fundamental risks inherent in AI, including issues such as hallucinations, data leakage, and adversarial misuse, particularly as AI systems increasingly assume greater decision-making autonomy.
At the core of AIM Intelligence’s offerings is a comprehensive product suite tailored to address these challenges. This suite includes ‘AIM Red,’ an advanced solution that automates penetration testing and vulnerability discovery through sophisticated AI red-teaming. ‘AIM Guard’ provides real-time filtering capabilities for unsafe inputs and outputs, acting as a crucial protective layer. Furthermore, ‘AIM Supervisor’ is designed to monitor AI agent reasoning paths, enabling the detection of policy drift and unsafe cognitive processes.
These cutting-edge technologies have already seen significant adoption across high-stakes sectors, notably in finance and telecommunications. Prominent clients such as KB Kookmin Card, KB Securities, Woori Bank, and LG Uplus have integrated AIM’s tools into their operations. LG Uplus has also initiated a pilot project, underscoring its strategic investment in AIM Intelligence’s capabilities. The company’s collaborative efforts extend further, encompassing generative AI reliability testing partnerships with KT, LG AI Research, the Korea Credit Information Service, and the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA).

AIM Intelligence’s influence and recognition are not confined to Korea. In 2024, the company was the sole Korean recipient of Meta’s prestigious Llama Impact Innovation Award. Additionally, it was selected by Anthropic to participate in its private bug bounty program, through which AIM Intelligence successfully identified and reported critical security vulnerabilities within non-public Claude models, including policy bypasses and adversarial prompt vectors. The company’s commitment to research leadership is globally acknowledged, evidenced by the acceptance of four of its papers at top-tier AI conferences.
