​Why Build in Korea?

​Korea is one of the most founder-friendly markets in Asia, offering:

​✅ A fast-moving, tech-native consumer base — ideal for early pilots
✅ Strong government support for foreign founders (grants, TIPS, accelerators)
✅ High-quality engineering talent
✅ Easy access to broader APAC markets (Japan, Southeast Asia, China)
✅ A rapidly growing global startup hub backed by real exits and international investors

​Jiho will share firsthand stories from building and exiting startups in Korea — and explain why Korea can be an ideal launchpad before scaling across Asia or globally.
