YC Corporation
YC Corporation is a Seoul-based digital transformation company that helps small and mid-sized Korean manufacturers go digital. As an official Autodesk partner, it supplies and consults on CAD/CAM/PLM software (Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Inventor, PowerMill), builds its own YC Smart Line MES, and sells the hardware - CNC routers, laser markers, 3D printers and IoT sensors - to run it. Founded in 2022 and bootstrapped, the company reached roughly 7 billion won in revenue by mid-2024 by focusing on shops that earlier smart-factory programs overlooked.
Flow Engineering
Flow Engineering builds an AI-native requirements and systems-engineering platform that lets complex hardware teams design, build, test, and iterate at software speed. At its core is a connected 'systems graph' that keeps requirements, CAD, code, simulations, tests, and certification artifacts in one live system of record - with AI agents running impact analysis and keeping everything aligned. Founded by mechanical engineer Pari Singh, Flow is used by companies like Rivian, Joby Aviation, Astranis, Stoke Space, and Figure, and raised a $23M Series A led by Sequoia in October 2025.
Personal AI
Personal AI (legally Human AI Labs, Inc.) builds an identity-based memory layer and Personal Language Models (PLMs) - compact, individually trained AI models that capture a person's or organization's knowledge, voice, and decision-making. Instead of a single generic chatbot, the platform lets people and enterprises create AI personas trained on their own data, keeping ownership and privacy with the user. Founded in 2020 and based in San Francisco, the company positions its smaller, memory-grounded models as a more accurate, lower-cost, privacy-first alternative to centralized cloud LLMs for sales, healthcare, legal, HR and knowledge work.
