Did you read about Israel′s Yozma Fund,... a tech venture capital fund... investing a
trillion won... or close to a billion dollars in Korea?
Yes, I did.
And I think Korea′s start-up brain pool is attracting a lot of attention around the
world... because, remember Google recently announced its plan to build its start-up campus
right here in Seoul sometime next year.
That′s right.
And today we are speaking to Lee Jeong-soo , CEO of Flitto,... one of the start-ups that
enjoyed this start-up-fostering environment in Google′s London Campus a few years ago.
Thank you so much for coming in today.
Do share with us your firm′s experience in Google′s Campus in London.
How did Google Campus help your product development?
Campus Seoul is going to be only Google′s third start-up campus... after London and
Tel Aviv.
And as we mentioned in the intro, big funds like Yozma is coming to Korea as well.
What about Korea′s start-ups do you think led to such decisions?
I
think
the head of Yozma Fund said in a recent interview that Korean start-ups have the potential but
they didn′t really have the global platform to go big.
Do you agree with him?
And what else would you like to point out as challenges ahead
for Korean start-ups?
Any word of advice for Google′s Campus Seoul?
Thank you.
