It has also successfully secured seed investments and funding from leading investors and has raised a total of KRW8billion over three consecutive rounds.
NVM, founded in 2016, has proven its outstanding service development and operation through launching ‘Pinch’, a vertical media for millennial women and ‘Tarae’, a content publishing platform for women. Saeyoon Jeong, CEO at NVM, is a media expert with adept experience as an editor and has joined Dable with the acquisition. She is also the founder of the independent media Misfits(2014) and Pinch. Junhaeng Lee, CTO at NVM is a media platform developer, who has generated all of NVM’s services. He has formerly worked at Naver and SK Planet, South Korea’s top tech companies.
“We are confident that the merging of Dable, the best personalization recommendation technology in Asia and NVM, the independent media with content publishing expertise, will create optimal synergy,” said Saeyoon Jeong, NVM’s CEO.
“NVM is an excellent media with professional insight in media service development and operation.
