Bridging Korea's Innovation Gap with the World
After 15 years of building products across Southeast Asia and APAC markets, I’ve witnessed firsthand the immense potential of Korean startups and the barriers that prevent them from reaching global markets.
The Challenge We Face Korean entrepreneurs are among the most innovative and hardworking in the world, yet they struggle to expand internationally. The problem isn’t lack of talent or technology, it’s the absence of practical bridges to global markets. Government programs provide valuable support, but they operate within constraints that don’t match the realities of international business development.
Our Mission KSGAA exists to fill this critical gap. We provide what Korean startups need most: genuine international relationships, flexible long-term support, and hands-on execution in target markets. We don’t just teach global expansion, we make it happen alongside our member companies.
A Sustainable Solution By combining our founders’ established international networks with a business-focused approach, we create lasting value for Korean startups, their local ecosystems, and international partners. Success isn’t measured by program completion rates, but by actual revenue generated, partnerships formed, and jobs created.
The Vision Forward Korea has the potential to be a global innovation leader, not just a regional one. KSGAA will be the catalyst that transforms exceptional Korean startups into global success stories, proving that with the right support and connections, Korean innovation can compete and win anywhere in the world.
