Grap.io

Grap.io operated as an enterprise communication software provider based in South Korea. The company was founded in 2012 and later became a deadpooled entity after its acquisition.

The firm developed a platform designed to consolidate business messenger and social network applications. Its core offering enabled users to create groups for communication, facilitating chat, file sharing, video conferencing, and announcement feeds. A notable feature was the watermarking of chat rooms, enhancing security for business communications. Grap.io catered to distribution corporations and other businesses, aiming to improve communication between headquarters and individual stores or branches. The business model was based on subscriptions to its platform.

Throughout its operation, Grap.io secured investments from several venture capital firms, including BonAngels Venture Partners, D-Camp, and the K-Startup Grand Challenge. The company went through an accelerator/incubator stage in 2016 and an early-stage VC round in 2017. On December 1, 2019, Grap.io was acquired by Kakao Enterprise, a South Korean IT services company.
