🎇 GSC Industry Workshop - SESSION 1 with Wadiz

​🎇 Global Startup Center (GSC) is teaming up with Wadiz Partners — the team behind Wadiz, Korea's leading crowdfunding, branding, and marketing platform (similar to the U.S.'s Kickstarter) — to launch a new program.

​This full-day workshop is designed for (prospective) foreign founders who already have a physical product, or want to develop one, and are interested in crowdfunding in Korea.

​After a short pre-screening process, participants will be grouped into teams of about 4–5 people by industry/sector. As a team, you'll use a virtual practice item — not your own product — to learn the full Wadiz registration process, from branding and positioning to pricing and detail-page creation.

​This means you won't be registering your own item during the workshop itself, but you'll walk away knowing exactly how to do it on your own afterward.

​➡️ What You'll Learn: How crowdfunding works within Korea's startup and marketing ecosystem, real success stories from founders who achieved sold-out campaigns on Wadiz, and hands-on practice in branding, product positioning, pricing, and detail-page creation — covering the A to Z of launching a Wadiz project.

​Priority will be given to applicants who already have a physical product or prototype.

Please bring your own laptop.

​📝 A short team assignment will be briefly announced about 2–3 days before the event, to help the workshop run smoothly.
📋 Please note that all applications go through a brief pre-screening process to ensure the program runs smoothly. Pre-screening will take place on August 27 or 28, and final participation will be confirmed shortly after.

*This event is not open to individuals with South Korean citizenship.
