AI startup Trina raises $112,000 seed to build team-wide AI tools
What's the deal? South Korean AI startup Trina has raised US$125.8K from Partners LoungeDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, the company said. Founded in August 2026, Trina will spend the money developing two products and acquiring customers at home and abroad.
What's the endgame? Trina runs two services. Trina AX is a shared company AI: teams load their files and workflows once, then call "@Trina" in a group chat to get results posted directly in the room. It bundles AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex for whole teams to use, with the code published on GitHub and a 14-day free trial for its hosted plan.
What else? Its second product, Trina GEO Marketing, targets small businesses without a dedicated marketer. The service picks keywords and writes daily blog posts so a company surfaces first in Google and ChatGPTDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → searches, then reports click and AI-answer results via KakaoTalk each Monday. Pricing starts at US$159.3 per brand per month.
The founding team also runs TreeSoop, an agency handling corporate AI transformation and workflow automation. Trina AX is a productised version of the methods TreeSoop refined deploying AI for clients.
Why it matters: Trina says its own blog, run the same way, grew Google search clicks from 75 in March 2026 to 2,812 in September. Chief executive officer Nam Dae-hyun said many firms "hand out AI accounts, but each employee uses them differently, so the work stays the same" (translated from Korean).

It reflects two live themes: embedding corporate AI into real workflows, and marketing aimed at generative-AI search visibility.
