Wave

What Wave does

WAVE Corporation is a private, Seoul-based product development company with 1-10 employees that operates a single commercial product called Taskey. The company was founded in 2016 and is led by CEO Sungho Lee, with its headquarters in the Seocho-gu district of Seoul. WAVE has raised funding from a syndicate of Korean venture investors including Kakao Ventures, Company K Partners, Korea Investment Partners, SparkLabs Ventures, and SV Investment Partners across rounds in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Taskey is an integration-based task management tool that treats email and work chat as a unified inbox, converting incoming messages into actionable tasks automatically. The product is designed to allow users to handle everything from inbox to reply within a single screen, explicitly targeting the workflow fragmentation problem created by managing email, chat, and task tools separately. WAVE positions Taskey for a horizontal segment of professional workers and teams who want to reduce the number of daily productivity tools they juggle.

The company distributes Taskey directly through its own web platform at taskey.work on a self-serve basis, targeting individual, SMB, and consumer users domestically in South Korea. No pricing model, pricing tiers, or monetization mechanics are publicly disclosed, and no enterprise GTM motion, partnerships, or named customers appear in the available data. WAVE does not disclose revenue, headcount trend, or user counts, which limits visibility into commercial traction beyond the existence of an active product and website.

Broad incumbents

• Notion: Notion is an all-in-one workspace combining docs, databases, and lightweight tasks, frequently used as a productivity consolidation hub. Comparable to Taskey's horizontal 'reduce daily tools' proposition.
• Microsoft To Do / Outlook Tasks: Microsoft bundles tasks and email integration natively within Outlook and Microsoft 365, posing the strongest platform-native threat to Taskey's unified inbox value proposition.
• Asana: Asana is a large, established work management platform offering tasks, projects, and workflow automation across teams. It competes in the same productivity/workflow space as Taskey but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• ClickUp: ClickUp positions itself as 'one app to replace them all,' consolidating tasks, docs, chat, and email into a single workspace. Direct conceptual overlap with Taskey's consolidation thesis.

Emerging players

• Mailbird: Mailbird is a unified email client with built-in task and calendar integrations for individual professionals. Comparable niche overlap with Taskey's 'single-screen inbox' focus.
• Superhuman Mail (and Tasks): Superhuman is an AI-powered email client that has expanded into tasks and scheduling, targeting professionals seeking inbox-centric productivity. Adjacent overlap with Taskey's inbox-to-action orientation.

Regional players

• Jandi (Toss Lab): Jandi is a Korean team messaging and task collaboration platform, comparable to Taskey's collaboration and task workflows and the closest Korean-market peer.

Direct peers

• Missive: Missive is a team email and chat app that combines shared inboxes, internal chat, and task-style workflows in a single client. Like Taskey, it targets professionals consolidating multiple communication channels into one workflow.
• Front: Front is a shared inbox platform that turns email and messages into collaborative workflows, assignable to teammates with statuses and SLAs. Closely comparable to Taskey's 'messages into actionable tasks' positioning, with a stronger enterprise footprint.
• Spike: Spike converts email into a conversational, chat-like workspace with built-in task and notes features. Directly comparable to Taskey's email-to-task integration approach, targeting professionals seeking a unified productivity surface.
