Could you introduce me about yourself and Startup Seoul?
โGRIT UNLIMITED. Being grateful for the ride, no matter the ups and downs.โ
Thatโs my saying.
Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. Have a Legacy. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
The currently, I am the Executive Partner of Startup Seoul. Previously, Manager Director of the Fashion Technology Accelerator, Seoul (Silicon Valley, Seoul, Milan) and Cofounder of Seoul Space and Kstartup (the first Asian accelerator funded by Google). And Founder and CEO of +822 (on hold). And way back when, I was CEO of Zingu, first Pay-Per-Click search engine and advertising in Korea โ that was the year of 2000! Yikes!
I love BIG thinking that moves big pieces on the board, creates value, and pushes the human condition forward. I build ecosystems that bridge Asia to the world through Korea (or) innovation platforms (or) work with and/or invest in companies that do so.
Innovations and startup. Thatโs where Iโm atโฆ I love it!
I am also on a whole foods plant-based lifestyle (NEW! ). It started when I had my stroke, and I keep it up in honor of my Momโฆ and I love it! (Aphasiaย andย Stroke (Argh!). Slowly, starting get better. RaaawwwrrrrRRR!!! Read it here: HealthโฆI never knew.)
That when I got into to Startup Seoul in โGarosugilโ, Sinsa (Gangnam area).
Andrew Kim made the transition a breeze even considering my post-stroke-ness. You rock, Andrew! I have been friends for a while (6 years?). We teamed up as Executive Partners as the whole thing over: Startup Seoul, as a re-doing my Seoul Space as a boutique style accelerator and coworking center.
It was perfect!
