We're happy to share that we've successfully completed the Kyung Hee University Glofer Startup Academy - and what an incredible journey it has been! This program has been both a useful and joyful experience that exceeded all our expectations.

Why We Joined the Program?

When we enrolled in the Glofer Startup Academy, we had two clear goals:

  • Networking: Building meaningful connections within Korea's entrepreneurial ecosystem

  • Legal Knowledge: Learning how to legally establish and operate a startup in Korea

Both objectives were not just met, but surpassed in ways we hadn't anticipated.

Guest Speakers - The Heart of the Program

Every single guest speaker was incredibly informative. From successful entrepreneurs sharing their journeys to legal experts breaking down complex regulations, each session brought fresh perspectives and practical insights. The diversity of speakers meant we learned from various industries and experience levels.

All Classes Were Valuable

What impressed us the most was the consistency of quality across all sessions. Whether we were discussing Korea's startup ecosystem, exploring government support programs, or diving into visa requirements, every class was thoughtfully designed and genuinely helpful.

Legal Matters Matter

Understanding the legal landscape is crucial for any entrepreneur in Korea. Learning about tax systems and labor law has given us the confidence to navigate these complex areas. These aren't just theoretical concepts - they're practical tools we'll use every day as we build a business.

The Road Ahead

Now that we've graduated, our focus is clear: keep growing and putting into action what we've learned. The program hasn't just given us knowledge - it's given us a roadmap and the confidence to execute our entrepreneurial vision in Korea.

The People We Met Along the Way

The networking aspect of this program was extraordinary. We've built relationships with:

  • Business owners who shared real-world experiences

  • Well-established entrepreneurs who became mentors

  • Pre-entrepreneurs who are on similar journeys

  • Talented individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries

These connections represent a community that extends far beyond the classroom.

More Than Just a Certificate

Yes, we received our graduation certificates and ongoing support from the organizers, and these are valuable. Since we already have our office space, the program's physical benefits were less crucial for us.

But here's what truly matters: the most valuable assets, apart from the knowledge gained, were the strong friendships and networking connections we built.

Thank You, Glofer Academy! 🙏

To the Kyung Hee University Campus Town team, the incredible guest speakers, and our fellow program participants - thank you for making this such a transformative experience.

The journey doesn't end with graduation; it's just the beginning. Armed with new knowledge, strong networks, and lasting friendships, we're excited to see what the future holds.
