What Cloocus does

Cloocus Corp. is a Seoul-headquartered IT services company founded in 2019 that operates as a Global AI Managed Service Provider for enterprise clients. It delivers cloud consulting, cloud implementation, managed services, data innovation, AI business services, productivity enablement, and customer experience management across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Copilot for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Google Cloud Platform, Naver Cloud Platform, and AWS. Cloocus holds the Microsoft Azure Expert MSP designation, the highest tier of the Microsoft Cloud Partner Program, and has accumulated 12 Azure Advanced Specializations — the largest count among Korean Microsoft partners — along with consecutive Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards from 2021 through 2025.

The company's core technology stack centers on three proprietary platforms: ClooSphere (a multi-LLM AI operations and governance platform), ClooOps (a multi-cloud management platform providing cost control and real-time monitoring), and ClooConnect (a partner ecosystem aggregating integrations across Kubernetes/DevOps, data and AI, IT operations, and cloud security vendors including Red Hat, GitHub, Databricks, Confluent, Fivetran, MongoDB, Qlik, DataDog, and Wiz). Clooocus generates revenue primarily through professional services engagements (consulting and implementation) supplemented by subscription-style managed services and the emerging ClooSphere and ClooOps software offerings, delivered via a direct enterprise field-sales motion supported by a channel partner program.

The company sells to large Korean enterprises and Microsoft Cloud Partners, with a stated footprint across Korea (Seoul HQ and Busan), the United States (New York), Malaysia (Petaling Jaya), and Japan (Tokyo). Cloocus is privately held, has raised approximately $39.5M across three funding rounds since 2019, and is preparing for an IPO alongside stated US market expansion plans.
