About

We are the AI operations partner for SMEs.

Every SME should have access to the same operational leverage that enterprise companies get from large teams. AI is that lever.

Our mission

We help growing businesses do more with the team they already have. Not by adding tools — by embedding AI into how they actually operate. So the work gets done, without the headcount.

More people bring more complexity. More coordination, more miscommunication, more things that can go wrong. The businesses that scale well aren't the ones that hired fastest — they're the ones that built smarter operations.

That's what we do.

What we don't do

We don't run generic AI training.

We don't demo tools disconnected from your business.

We don't start with a solution and work backwards.

Every engagement starts with: what is the actual problem costing you time or money right now?

Behind the company

KooStory was founded by Ilmo Koo — someone who has built companies from scratch, scaled operations under pressure, and written the code to fix what kept breaking.

5 people at founding
270 employees at peak

As a co-founder, he grew a company from 5 people to 270. It was operations-heavy from day one — and every scaling problem came with the same default answer: hire more people. Sometimes it worked. But often, 1+1 wasn't 2. Sometimes not even 1.5. Occasionally, adding someone made things slower.

The hard lesson: hiring without an operational foundation doesn't compound. It's like building a sand castle — each wave of growth erodes what you built before.
