Revolutionizing Ad Placement in Video: PYLER’s AiD

Founded in 2021, PYLER set out to solve a long-standing issue in the video advertising industry: brand safety. The company’s flagship solution, AiD, is an AI-powered platform that ensures ads appear in brand-safe video environments—particularly on platforms like YouTube.

AiD analyzes the content of videos in real time, evaluating tone, context, and messaging to determine whether an ad should be placed. By automating what previously required manual review by agencies and marketers, AiD not only protects brand image but also enhances ad effectiveness at scale.

Today, PYLER works with global brands like Samsung, Bulgari, and BYD, as well as leading advertising agencies including Cheil Worldwide and Innocean.

Proven Growth and Technology with $24M in Total Funding

To date, PYLER has raised a cumulative 34 billion KRW (~$24 million) in funding. In July 2024, the company secured a 22 billion KRW Series investment from top-tier investors such as KDB Bank, KT Investment, Stonebridge Ventures, and SV Investment—validating its technical excellence and market potential.

Being named to the Forbes “30 Under 30” list is more than an accolade—it's a recognition of the transformative work being done in a rapidly evolving digital ad landscape. PYLER continues to lead this transformation by building AI solutions that make advertising smarter and safer.
