Impactive AI

What Impactive AI does

Impactive AI is a South Korea-based B2B SaaS company that sells DeepFlow, an AI-driven demand and price prediction platform for enterprise supply chains. The platform combines an ensemble of 224+ machine learning and deep learning models with 50,000+ external data points (macroeconomic indicators, weather, market trends, exchange rates, commodity prices) and the customer's internal sales data to forecast product demand 6-12 months ahead at SKU level and predict raw material prices for procurement teams. Modules include DeepFlow Forecast (core demand forecasting), DeepFlow Materials (raw material price prediction covering steel, non-ferrous metals, energy, and agricultural commodities), and DeepFlow NPD (beta-stage new product sales forecasting), all anchored by a BI dashboard, explainable AI feature contribution analysis, and an LLM-based AI assistant.

The company has built proprietary intellectual property around a Black Swan methodology for absorbing unpredictable events and quantum AI techniques, supported by 70+ patent applications. Customers use the platform through a web application (app.deepfl.ai), with sales motion anchored by free PoC engagements for demand forecasting and 2-week free demos for DeepFlow Materials. Customer segments span manufacturing, F&B, retail, steel/construction, and EV batteries, with named enterprise references including Hanmi Science (pharmaceuticals), Seoul Fragrance, Ecopro Materials, and an unnamed semiconductor company, plus an MOU with the Cameroon government for agricultural prediction.

Impactive AI monetizes through annual enterprise SaaS subscriptions with custom pricing tied to SKU count, data volume, and prediction scope, supplemented by Korean government subsidy programs (data vouchers, cloud vouchers) for SME adoption. The company is privately held and venture-backed, with cumulative disclosed funding of approximately 10.3 billion KRW (~$7.9M USD) across a 2022 seed, a February 2024 Pre-A led by Industrial Bank of Korea, an August 2025 Series A led by A Ventures with CJ Investment, Hyundai Investment Partners, IBK Venture, KCG Fund, and Lotte Ventures, and a December 2025 round involving ZERO1NE Ventures. The company was selected for Samsung Electronics' C-Lab Outside 9th cohort in 2026 and received the Korean Minister of Science and ICT award.
