Starseed, the developer and operator of the global PR automation platform 'Pulitzer AI' (CEO Bomi Son), announced on the 28th that it has been selected as a participant in the third cohort of SK Telecom's 'AI Startup Accelerator.' With this selection, Starseed plans to expand opportunities for technological collaboration and business integration with SK Telecom and its affiliates.
A total of 152 domestic AI startups applied for this program, resulting in a highly competitive selection process with a ratio of approximately 10 to 1. After a rigorous evaluation, only 15 teams were ultimately selected. The participating companies include Starseed, Codecrane, Teramime, and Plex, among others, all of which possess diverse capabilities in the field of AI-driven digital transformation.
Starseed's main service, 'Pulitzer AI,' is a SaaS-based platform that automates not only press release creation and distribution but also journalist matching and global news monitoring. Recently, the company has demonstrated its technological strength by securing patents for LLM-based article generation, developing a customized recommendation engine, and building active AI agents. Since its launch, the platform has surpassed 10,000 cumulative press releases issued and 2,000 users, proving both its marketability and stability.
Through its agreement with SK Telecom, Starseed will receive ongoing support, including: ▲ AI expert mentoring and seminars, ▲ discussions on strategic business cooperation with SKT affiliates, and ▲ connections to domestic and international venture capital networks, which will provide follow-up investment and practical marketing opportunities. Accordingly, Starseed plans to focus on advancing natural language command recognition and strengthening multilingual services. In addition, the company aims to refine its enterprise-customized services based on user feedback and data analysis, thereby enhancing the quality of its AI PR services to a global standard.
Bomi Son, CEO of Starseed, stated, "Based on the premium network we will build with SKT, Pulitzer AI will actively expand its proven achievements onto the global stage," adding, "Through the establishment of customized local operational systems and strategic partnerships, we will lead the innovative ecosystem of the global PR market."
Meanwhile, Starseed recently received the Chairman's Award at the 26th Women's Startup Competition, organized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Women's Enterprise Support Center, in recognition of its AI technology and growth potential. Starseed was ranked among the top 26 teams out of 1,131 participants nationwide. As a result, the company secured a spot in the integrated finals of 'Challenge! K-Startup 2025,' jointly hosted by four ministries: the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Ministry of National Defense. In March, Starseed was also listed in the '2025 Generative AI Startup Map' announced by Startup Alliance.
