Enhans raised $38 million in Series C funding, bringing total financing to $60 million as it expands AgentOS, its AI-native operating system for enterprise and government operations. Strategic investors from POSCO, LG and Lotte joined the round after the company’s technology was already running in live operations inside those groups.

Why it matters: - Enhans is trying to move enterprise AI from pilots to production systems that can execute work, not just generate answers. - The new funding supports infrastructure for data, process and execution across enterprise systems, which is central to how large organizations adopt AI at scale. - Strategic backing from affiliates of POSCO, LG and Lotte signals customer validation turning into investor support.

What happened: - Enhans raised $38 million in Series C funding, its largest round to date. - The round lifted total funding to $60 million. - TIMEFOLIO Asset Management and Stonebridge Ventures co-led the financing. - IMM Investment and STIC Ventures joined as new investors. - L&S Venture Capital, AOA Capital Partners, KT Investment and Hyundai Technology Investment made follow-on investments. - POSCO Investment, LG CNS and Lotte Ventures joined as strategic investors. - Enhans said companies within the POSCO, LG and Lotte groups already use its technology in live operations.

The details: - Enhans builds AgentOS, an enterprise operating layer that connects models, enterprise data, business processes and execution. - AgentOS uses an ontology to structure data and business rules across systems such as SAP, ERP and CRM. - The platform is model-agnostic, letting enterprises keep control of data and AI operations without tying themselves to one model vendor. - Enhans is applying AgentOS in manufacturing, finance, retail, healthcare, defense and the public sector. - ACT-2, Enhans’ action-oriented agent, uses Computer Use technology to operate websites and software like a human user. - ACT-2 ranked No. 2 globally in the automated evaluation of Online-Mind2Web, a benchmark released in August 2026 for AI agents completing tasks on live websites. - Enhans is part of the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program and the Microsoft AI Startup Alliance. - Enhans raised a Series B in January 2025 and received a strategic investment from NAVER Ventures in April 2026. - NAVER Ventures has mainly invested in startups outside Korea, centered on Silicon Valley, and Enhans is the first Korea-headquartered company in its portfolio.

Between the lines: - The round suggests investors are backing companies that can prove enterprise AI in production, especially in regulated and operationally complex settings. - Enhans is framing Sovereign AI as control over data, knowledge and execution rather than ownership of a model. - The company is positioning its ontology-based architecture as infrastructure for AI agents that need to understand how businesses actually work. - Stonebridge Ventures said Enhans already has an operating system for AI agents that has proven itself with demanding customers, and that the company could expand early leadership in Korea before growing globally.

What's next: - Enhans plans to use the new capital to expand the data, process and execution infrastructure behind AgentOS. - The company is building capabilities to capture and connect data and documents across enterprise systems with the decision criteria and working methods of domain experts. - Enhans is developing Industry Packs that encode sector-specific data structures and business rules. - The company also plans to extend Computer Use across AgentOS, strengthen security and governance for regulated industries, and hire technical and business talent internationally. - Enhans said it will grow its customer base outside Korea as part of that expansion.

The bottom line: - Enhans is betting that the next phase of enterprise AI will be won by operating systems that can govern context, execute tasks and preserve control over company data.
