What Modulabs does

Modulabs (모두의연구소) is a South Korea-domiciled AI education platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Seoul's Gangnam district, operating a multi-product portfolio that spans immersive Aiffel Bootcamp tracks (AI Agent, AI Data Intelligence, AI Researcher, AI Engineer — 26-week formats with tuition subsidized up to 90% via K-Digital Training and 국민내일배움카드), an after-work Camp program for employed professionals covering data analysis and Vibe Coding, a self-paced Class online course marketplace (individual courses priced ~13,700–100,000 KRW), and an Enterprise/B2B AI training line delivered through b2b.modulabs.co.kr covering AX/DX consulting and Microsoft 365 Copilot integration.

Underlying the commercial products is a community and content platform comprising LAB (open research labs producing 148+ academic papers), ModuMome (study groups and book clubs), Moducon (annual AI conference — 2025 edition 'From AI to Infinity'), Moduletter (weekly newsletter), and Paper Shop (international academic paper access). GTM is community-led and event-driven: free seminars and Moducon feed a funnel into paid bootcamps, courses, and enterprise contracts; distribution is reinforced by regulatory partnerships with the Ministry of Employment and Labor (고용노동부), HRD Korea (한국산업인력공단), and the Korean Employment Information Center (한국고용정보원) for government-funded training administration.

The business model combines (a) tuition from government-subsidized K-Digital Training cohorts (90% funded, 10% self-pay refunded on completion), (b) one-time online course sales, (c) B2B enterprise AI training and AX/DX consulting on multi-year contracts, and (d) brand/IP-led community monetization through events and newsletter. Pricing models span subscription/recurring (bootcamps, enterprise), one-time license (individual online courses), and professional services (B2B consulting). The company is privately held and boot-strapped/institutional-funded (notable 2022 Series 2 of ~$5.85M from Daekyo Investment and KB Investment), with no parent company, acquisitions, or public-market activity disclosed.
