## About

Based in Seoul, South Korea, SECA was established as an independent company after graduating from STUDIO341, an internal venture program jointly operated by LG Electronics and Bluepoint Partners. The company was founded by a team with hardware engineering, software, data, and AI expertise, including CEO Kim Jun-hyung, who previously worked on design software and AI-related projects within LG Electronics' vehicle solutions business. SECA focuses on improving hardware engineering workflows by orchestrating fragmented design data and applying AI to detect design inconsistencies and automate engineering validation processes. In August 2026, the company secured an undisclosed Seed funding round from LG Electronics and Bluepoint Partners following its corporate spin-off.
The company focuses on developing an AI for EDA (Electronic Design Automation) platform that integrates engineering data scattered across requirements documents, datasheets, schematics, BOMs, layouts, and other design artifacts. Its platform uses knowledge graph technology to map relationships among design elements and automatically track the impact of design changes. The solution combines rule-based validation engines with proprietary LLM and VLM technologies to automate design verification, document analysis, component recommendation, and hardware engineering workflows. The company is currently conducting pilot projects with organizations including LG Electronics, DB Global Chip, and Airbus.
The company's revenue is generated from providing enterprise software solutions and AI-powered engineering automation services to manufacturing customers. Based on publicly available information, SECA works with electronics, automotive, semiconductor, and industrial manufacturing organizations through pilot and commercial deployment projects of its AI for EDA platform. The company has not publicly disclosed detailed revenue figures or revenue segmentation.
The proceeds from the latest Seed investment are expected to support the commercialization and expansion of SECA's AI for EDA platform. The company plans to develop a hardware-specialized foundation model capable of learning circuit connectivity, physical constraints, and engineering design history to further automate hardware development processes. Investors cited the company's ability to address fundamental manufacturing engineering challenges and its strong adoption potential within enterprise environments as key reasons for the investment.
