‘Yuk-a Crew’ Dinoz Launches R&D Center, Boosts Tech

Dinoz, which operates 'Yukacrew', a platform connecting "neighborhood parenting friends," is accelerating service advancement by establishing a corporate research institute for technological innovation. At its core is 'persona tagging' technology, which deeply analyzes user data. This institute will precisely analyze parents' parenting lifestyles, profiles, interests, and community activities to set individual 'personas,' and based on this, will focus on developing a customized matching algorithm that connects the best-suited parenting friends. Additionally, it plans to build a system that collects parenting big data and curates personalized content optimized for individuals. Dinoz's goal is to further increase the ratio (currently 65%) of online connections made through Yukacrew leading to actual offline meetings, thereby revitalizing a community-based co-parenting culture. CEO Lee Ga-young stated her ambition, saying, "Through the establishment of this research institute, we will further refine the foundation of the matching algorithm built since the initial service, creating a deeply connected neighborhood parenting ecosystem." Under the slogan "The easiest way to meet parenting friends," Yukacrew supports various parenting activities, including local-based matching, parenting information sharing, customized content, and participation in offline small groups. Dinoz is located in the Seoul Social Venture Hub and has been recognized for its technological prowess and growth potential, having been selected for prominent startup programs such as AWS VC Spotlight, Google for Startups Cloud Program, and GitHub for Startups, and invited to Apple's 2025 International Women's Day commemorative event.
