The AI-based global trade platform 'TradeIt' announced that it has secured a seed investment of USD 500,000 from Metalline Inc., an investment firm headquartered in Los Angeles, USA.

This investment is significant as it enables TradeIt to secure the essential capital needed to grow as a data-driven export innovation platform in the global market.

TradeIt is developing and operating a platform that standardizes and automates the overseas sales process for small and medium-sized enterprises through a hybrid Trade-as-a-Service (TaaS) model, which combines AI buyer discovery technology based on global trade data, a self-developed CRM, and a combination of Korean TM and overseas GTM.

The investment from Metalline Inc. is analyzed as a recognition of TradeIt's technological competitiveness and potential for global expansion. It was particularly based on confidence in TradeIt's next-generation growth roadmap, which includes expansion into Southeast Asia starting in 2026, the advancement of AI-based automated sales systems, and the launch of a mobile CRM (App).

Moon Sung-yong, CEO of TradeIt, stated, "With this investment, TradeIt will establish itself as a 'standard export platform' that allows global SMEs to easily enter other overseas markets using data and AI," adding, "We will build a competitive export infrastructure in the global market by connecting AI buyer discovery, CRM, and overseas TM networks into one integrated system."

J. Jay, CEO of Metalline Inc., commented, "TradeIt has a structure that can expand not only to Korean manufacturing companies but also to the global SME market," and "The data-driven export platform market is growing rapidly, and TradeIt has high potential to set the global standard at its center," explaining the background of the investment.

TradeIt currently provides TaaS-based export sales services to approximately 200 companies and is set to launch a new product that combines trade data-based AI buyer discovery functionality with SaaS CRM. Additionally, it plans to begin system testing in 2 to 3 Southeast Asian countries within the year.

Based on this investment, TradeIt is preparing for full-scale global expansion by increasing investment in technology advancement, overseas network building, SaaS enhancement, and global marketing.

Meanwhile, TradeIt is a Trade-as-a-Service (TaaS) platform that maximizes the export success rate of SMEs by combining AI-based trade data analysis, CRM dedicated to overseas sales, and overseas TM networks.
