Genesia Ventures Leads Pre-Series A Investment in Entaar’s AI-Powered Collaborative Execution Service for Enterprises
Genesia Ventures led the Pre-Series A investment round of Entaar through Genesia Venture Fund 4 (GV-4). Entaar develops and provides IT investment database systems and related professional services for IT planning departments of large enterprises.
Investment Background
Enterprise IT and information systems departments today struggle with fragmented infrastructure across numerous business units and subsidiaries. With different outsourced system integrators managing various systems, IT assets have become complex and opaque, making it difficult to maintain a clear overview. Companies lack cross-departmental databases of past evaluation records for new IT implementation requests. Instead, investment plans typically follow previous years’ approaches or are created through ad hoc budgeting, which compromises proper evaluation of investment validity and strategic priorities.
The “black-boxing of existing system architecture” in enterprise IT represents a fundamental challenge for many large enterprises today. As companies evolve from Digital Transformation (DX) to AI Transformation (AX), system architecture review is becoming a critical management priority. With growing needs to organize current (As-is) information more effectively, we recognized a clear opportunity and decided to invest in Entaar.
Business Overview
Entaar develops and provides enterprise IT investment database systems and professional services that support both pre- and post-implementation phases.
The company offers a holistic solution to enterprise IT investment challenges through its integrated “IT investment database + professional services” approach.
For each client company, Entaar creates a dedicated database that consolidates essential information — IT assets, contracts, project details, evaluation records, and inquiry histories. This “Entaar Database” captures information gathered through its support services, effectively systematizing and standardizing enterprise IT investment and planning knowledge.
Entaar’s IT planning-specialized AI agents, built on top of this database, provide IT department personnel with powerful support capabilities. These include visualizing and analyzing IT investment portfolios, automating system renewal plans and ROI calculations, and semi-automating vendor inquiry and quotation processes.
Fund Allocation and Future Direction
The newly secured funding will be allocated to these key areas:
- Strengthening Existing Services
The company is prioritizing execution services for IT professionals by offering specialized AI agents for IT planning operations. These tools help users consult on IT practices, analyze investment portfolios, automate RFP and system renewal plans, ROI calculations, and streamline vendor inquiry and quotation processes.
- Talent Acquisition and Team Expansion
As the business grows, the company will focus on recruiting key talent in development (across all areas, especially PdM), business development, and sales leadership positions.

- Market Expansion Strategy
The company plans to expand into new sectors by leveraging customer relationships and data acquired through its IT execution services. Guided by its mission of “Reconstructing the Technology Economic Sphere,” Entaar will develop a highly profitable IT marketplace business using its unique industry connections to transform the traditionally rigid IT distributor market.
