Turing Secures 7 Billion Won in Series B Funding

Korea Development Bank, Kingo Investment Partners, and Company K join as new investors
"Expanding into an AI service for university students worldwide"
All features go free with the start of the new semester

Turing, a company specializing in inferential artificial intelligence (AI) agents, has secured 7 billion won in Series B funding. This fundraising reflects investors' attention to the rapid growth rate and global expansion potential of Turing's AI agent, GPAI.

On September 1, a Turing spokesperson stated, "This round saw new participation from Korea Development Bank, Kingo Investment Partners, and Company K Partners. Existing investor Kolon Investment also continued their support with a follow-on investment."

Turing operates GPAI, an AI agent designed to assist with all aspects of university students' workflow, leveraging inferential AI technology developed over approximately eight years. Through technologies such as inferential AI, proprietary image engine-based visualization, and document processing, GPAI delivers all the outcomes students need for university life, from lecture learning to assignment and exam preparation, as well as team projects.

Within just a year of its launch, GPAI surpassed 1.5 million users and has experienced rapid growth in key markets such as Korea and the United States. Notably, in the United States, it is being used at 415 universities including MIT, Stanford, and Harvard. Turing's technological capabilities have also been recognized in academia, as evidenced by their paper being accepted in the industry track at the prestigious EMNLP 2025 natural language processing conference.

Building on this round of funding, Turing plans to successively launch new features needed for students' academic activities and AI utilization, and to massively expand its user base. The company will also strengthen partnerships with universities and research institutions to gain references in the B2B and B2G sectors. In line with their aim to evolve into an AI service for all university students—regardless of major or country—Turing transitioned all previously paid features of GPAI to free access, coinciding with the start of the new semester at major universities.

A Turing spokesperson commented, "This fundraising represents recognition of Turing's accumulated inferential AI capabilities and the global growth potential of GPAI. We will continue to develop GPAI into the AI service that all university students worldwide turn to first, regardless of their field of study or country."
