CEO & Founder at Allganize
Changsu Lee is the CEO and founder of Allganize. Before founding Allganize, he successfully founded the game data analytics company 5Rocks, which was acquired by the world's largest mobile advertising company, Tapjoy, in 2014.
In 2017, Changsu Lee founded Allganize as his second venture after 5Rocks. Allganize is an all-in-one solution company that innovates corporate productivity using Large Language Models (LLMs). Initially, the company provided a core service called "Ali," an AI cognitive search solution for enterprises. Ali was designed to learn from various forms of documents, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, etc., and provide answers to employees' questions. Recently, Allganize expanded into a platform for LLMs for businesses.
The Ali LLM App Store, launched by Allganize in September 2023, was developed to enhance the competitiveness and productivity of companies. Similar to using various apps on smartphones, it allows users to choose AI apps in their desired fields and apply them directly to their work. Corporate customers can select from six categories in the app store: General, Legal, HR, Customer Support, Productivity, and Others. They can choose and use registered LLM apps for their job roles or create apps themselves using a no-code approach.
Allganize currently operates in the markets of the United States, Korea, and Japan, serving over 200 global clients. In March 2021, the company secured a total investment of $10 million from investors including Atinum Investment, Stonebridge Ventures, SBI Financial Group (Japan), and existing investors in Korea, the United States, and Japan. In 2017, Allganize attracted $1 million in investment from Global Brain (Japan), $3.4 million in 2019 from SparkLabs Ventures, Base Investment, Laguna Investment, and Fast Investment, among others.
