Tex-Corps Networking Event

​TeX-Corps Networking Session: Customer Discovery in Silicon Valley

​Join us for an evening of meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and valuable networking at KOTRA Silicon Valley in San Jose.

​This networking session is focused on Customer Discovery, giving participants the chance to have structured and purposeful conversations with experienced entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and startup ecosystem leaders. Instead of exchanging business cards and making small talk, you will engage in discussions that help validate ideas, understand customer needs, and explore market opportunities.

​As part of the KIC DC TeX-Corps Program, this event is designed to help participants experience how real entrepreneurs test their ideas, talk with potential customers, and evaluate whether their vision can succeed in markets such as the United States.

​Professionals from a wide range of industries—including technology, AI, healthcare, sustainability, and venture capital—will be joining the session. In addition, 44 startup teams from Korea will share their technologies and business ideas as they explore opportunities to enter the U.S. market.

​Through these conversations, participants will gain sharper insights, practical feedback, and a deeper understanding of customer discovery and startup growth. This is an opportunity to move beyond learning Lean Startup concepts from books and experience them firsthand with people who have successfully built and supported innovative ventures.

​This session is hosted by KIC DC and organized in partnership with Team of Wakers.
