Leaflyze is a South Korean technology company founded in 2024 that specializes in artificial intelligence-driven automation for the sewing industry. The company's core technology aims to optimize production by using AI to evaluate the feasibility of turning 2D design images into tangible products, automatically generating patterns, and creating work orders. This system is designed to significantly reduce tasks that traditionally took days or weeks down to a single day.
The company was founded by a team with deep expertise in AI and robotics. CEO Jongho Park is a computer engineering graduate from Seoul National University with experience in AI projects at Upstage. CTO Seunghwan Lee studied character animation and 3D vision AI at Stanford University, while CPO Jongmin Park is a KAIST computer science graduate who previously developed robotic control systems.
Leaflyze launched its first service, "Teddify," for the custom manufacturing of plush toys, targeting artists and organizations with their own character designs. The service enables small production runs starting from 30 units, which lowers inventory costs for clients. It promises rapid prototyping and a final delivery within weeks. Although headquartered in Seoul, a region with higher labor costs compared to traditional manufacturing hubs, Leaflyze focuses on process optimization to build a competitive mass production system in Korea, ensuring better quality control and faster delivery times. In November 2024, the company secured an undisclosed amount of seed funding from investors including Bass Ventures and Bluepoint Partners to support its service launch and further development.
