👋🏼 How would you explain your job to someone outside tech?

I always refer to "Start-Up," a Korean Drama Series, as a reference to tell someone about my job. I tell people that my job is what Han Ji-pyeong does in the series.

So, my job is to find potential startups or founders who want to start building their own startup that I can invest in and provide them with hands-on support.

I work closely with the founders and ensure they can grow the business exponentially, raise other subsequent rounds and be the next unicorn.

🧐 What's something about you or your job that would surprise us?

About the job? Although we started our investment activities less than two years ago, we have invested in more than 20 startups, worked with over 40 founders, and had one exit.

And remember! We just started stepping on the gas. Many more investments are coming.

About me? I'm a part-time food blogger on TikTok just for fun. If you're looking for some food recommendations, you can check my TikTok account: @foodjournal_bdg. I know it's absurd, hahaha! 🤪
