QueryPie, a cloud-based data protection startup founded by Kakao's youngest former developer, is gaining attention as a Korean security software company expanding into global markets. CEO Hwang In-seo founded the company in 2016 after building experience in mobile applications, kiosks, and Kakao services such as KakaoTalk Gift.

The company was selected by Y Combinator with its self-developed data analysis solution and later raised investment from global venture capital firms, including Salesforce and Z Venture Capital. QueryPie then discovered strong market demand for cloud database security and built a solution for Yanolja in six months, leading to adoption by customers including Kakao and LG U+.

The article describes QueryPie as playing the role of a door lock or security camera in the cloud world. Korea's strict security and compliance environment has become a competitive advantage overseas. The company is testing major Japanese customer opportunities through partners and has begun proof-of-concept work in Europe, including the United Kingdom and Spain.
