FUNDING & GROWMENT TRAJECTORY
Impactive AI operates with stealth efficiency: 14 employees and 4 funding rounds with 12 investors, yet undisclosed amounts. This capital-light approach contrasts with DEEPX's $80M Series B. Implication: Korean AI startups optimize for profitability over vanity metrics.
Series A timing aligns with 14.9% MoM traffic growth and patent filings for hybrid ML models. Opportunity: Next funding round could fuel international expansion as backlinks already span 125 domains.
- 45 patents pending vs Qubit AI's 28
- 12 investors engaged without public lead
- 14.9% MoM traffic surge pre-announcement
- 225 backlinks from manufacturing hubs
PRODUCT EVOLUTION & ROADMAP HIGHLIGHTS
Deepflow AI anchors the stack—processing demand forecasts at 98.6% accuracy versus AIoT Hub's 94% benchmark. The 224-model library serves niches from perishable goods to semiconductor lead times. Risk: Over-customization may dilute core IP.

- HTTP/2 enabled globally
- 200ms max server latency
