Korea Investment Partners Backs 'Profitable Proptech'—Jaritalk Raises 14.5 Billion Won [fn Market Watch]

[Financial News] Jari Company, which operates the rental management platform Jaritalk, has raised 14.5 billion won in Series A funding. The company turned a profit after shifting its business focus to real estate.
According to investment banking industry sources on the first, Korea Investment Partners participated as the lead investor in the round. HG Initiative, S2L Partners, Evergreen Investment Partners, NBH Capital and JCH Investment joined as co-investors. The company's cumulative funding now stands at 17.7 billion won.
Jari Company recorded 12.5 billion won in revenue and 750 million won in operating profit in 2025. Following its return to profitability in 2024, the company's revenue grew by more than 60% the following year. The company is regarded as having built a recurring revenue model based on ongoing demand for monthly-rent management.
A venture capital industry source said, "There have been quite a few cases in proptech where companies secured users but failed to develop a business model." The source added, "Jari Company is an attractive investment because it secured both landlords and tenants and built a structure that generates recurring revenue from monthly-rent management."
Jaritalk is a rental management platform used by 6 million tenants and 700,000 landlords. It has more than 740,000 registered buildings and over 2 million managed units. The platform provides landlords with a property management ERP covering rent notices, rent collection and contract management. For tenants, it offers Jari Pay for credit card payments of monthly rent, rent refunds, actual-residence reviews and short-term rentals.
In particular, through its "actual-residence reviews," the platform shares firsthand living experiences in apartments, studio apartments, officetels and villas, helping address information asymmetry in the rental market. Park Byung-jong, CEO of Jari Company, said, "Jeonse and monthly-rent transactions involve entrusting a large sum of money, often close to one's entire fortune, yet people have frequently fallen victim to fraud because of information asymmetry." He added, "We will build a trust infrastructure that benefits everyone, based on networks of landlords and tenants."
