Our global entrepreneurship program with Seoul National University’s RISE team has concluded with eight minimum viable products developed over one semester.
At Demo Day on June 4, 2026, student teams presented their work and received feedback on the problems they were solving, product execution, market potential, and opportunities beyond Korea. The program connected product development with customer validation and practical preparation for international growth.
By the end of the program, four teams had completed or were in the process of establishing US entities. All participating teams were connected with follow-on overseas programs or other global opportunities.
This builds on the hands-on Global Product Development course we launched with SNU under the RISE program. The outcomes show how a university partnership can connect classroom learning with building products and preparing for the next stage of a startup’s development.
