International startups entering Korea needed more than market visibility. They needed local business knowledge, incorporation guidance, and relevant relationships across the country’s startup and investment ecosystem to plan their next steps.
For the KISED-facilitated programme, 2080 delivered workshops and tailored one-to-one mentoring to three international startups. The engagement connected market-entry planning with founder development, ecosystem visits, and introductions to Korean investors.
The record reports that Get Outfit and ANSCER Robotics began incorporation and market-entry processes, and that three startups were connected with Korean investors. It also reports $500,000 in fundraising for Get Outfit.
Starting incorporation is distinct from completed registration. Investor introductions are not investment commitments.
