About

Trineedle is a Seoul-based AI entertainment company that builds and operates live AI companion characters powered by its own multimodal technology stack integrating LLM, TTS, and generative video into a single pipeline. Unlike text-based AI chat services, Trineedle's characters appear live on video — letting users have face-to-face conversations with AI personas — and the company has accumulated over 200 million cumulative voice calls. Spun off from Samsung Electronics' C-Lab program in 2019, Trineedle raised seed and pre-A funding from Samsung Venture Investment and KB Investment, and also exited its earlier Stickybomb creator-support platform in 2025.

Summary

It lists 1–10 employees. It has raised $1.1M in total across 2 rounds, most recently a $775K Pre-Seed round in Jun 2022. Investors include Samsung Venture Investment Corporation and KB Investment.
