What MAXTED does

MAXTED (주식회사 맥스테드 / MaxTED Co., Ltd.) is a Seoul-based private Korean IT company founded in 2010 that operates four business lines: AI as a Service, SaaS, Max Mobility, and Max Reality. Its AI-as-a-Service offering is built on the Max Data Platform, a Kubernetes-based AI container platform that integrates open-source components such as Milvus for machine learning and large-scale data processing, and packages capability modules including RAG-based generative AI chatbots, Agentic AI frameworks, MAX POSE (human pose estimation with auto-labeling), and automated personal-data anonymization (face/license-plate blur) for AI training datasets. The SaaS line delivers government research fund management systems, Kubernetes provisioning, and cloud-based data annotation tooling; the Max Mobility line provides indoor positioning (MaxIndoor) and remote attendance (출근퇴근.com, aLog for university entrepreneurship credit programs); and the Max Reality line offers Max-R, a WebXR/WebVR visual-programming platform for VR/AR applications.

The company generates revenue through a mix of subscription-based SaaS delivered via ASP (no installation required), project-based contracts for enterprise and government clients, and government R&D grants and voucher programs. Its customer base is concentrated in Korean finance, telecommunications, government, and education sectors, with named enterprise clients including the National Pension Service (LLM-based AI consultation service, 2024), KT Corporation (KT Synapse Kubernetes provisioning and wired network quality measurement, 2024), Dongguk University (aLog deployment), and Hanwoori Open Education (digital reading subscription, 2022). The company is recognized as a designated AI voucher and data voucher support business supplier in 2025, holds Inno-Biz certification (2024) and Venture Company certification (2022), and is led by CEO Lee Seung-yeop (이승엽). With 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding, MAXTED remains a small, founder-led services firm whose scale signals are limited.
