Dear Korean American Students Association of Princeton University,
On behalf of The Korea Society, I’m excited to invite the members of your organization to our office location in midtown Manhattan for two of our upcoming in-person programs.
Firstly, on Thursday, November 30th at 6:30pm, we will be hosting the Senior Vice President of Kakao Mobility, Dr. Christopher Chang, for a conversation about his career journey and industry insights. Kakao Mobility is the mobility subsidiary of South Korea’s tech giant Kakao Corp. and operator of the Kakao T app, which currently presides over 80% of the taxi-hailing market in South Korea. As part of our Young Professionals’ Network series, the goal of this program is to inspire and offer value to emerging professionals’ interested in a wide range of fields.
Next, on Monday, December 4th at 6:00pm, The Korea Society is launching our inaugural program for a new series, entitled Startup Scene: Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, which aims to empower startup entrepreneurs by providing knowledge, strategy insights, and networking opportunities. The first program will featureMr. Saeju Jeong, the co-founder and former CEO of Noom. Since the establishment of their weight loss app, Noom, a consumer-led digital health company that helps people live healthier and happier lives, has disrupted the weight loss industry, achieving a valuation of $3.7 billion and benefiting over 50 million people with their health and diet.
The format of both of these programs will include a moderated discussion with the guest speaker, after which audience members are invited to ask questions and enjoy a brief post-program networking session, with light refreshments provided. We encourage you to share this information with any and all who may be interested.

Korean-American Innovative Technology Engineers and Entrepreneurs (이하 KITEE) 에서 스타트업 해커톤을 주최하게 되었습니다.
본 해커톤의 목적은 주어진 토픽 (ex. AI) 에 대해서 24시간 내에 스타트업을 만들 수 있는 아이디어를 빌드업 하고 피칭까지 해볼 수 있는 소위 모의 스타트업 준비라고 할 수 있습니다. 5-6개의 팀을 만들어 24시간 동안 멘토들에게 조언을 받으며 아이디어를 구상해나갑니다. 혼자가 아닌 팀 멤버와 함께 진행하기 때문에 창업 아이디어를 구상해나가는 과정 뿐만 아니라 네트워킹, 소통, 협업성을 증진시키기에도 좋은 자리입니다.
마지막 날 스타트업 피칭 대회는 Shark tank 형식으로 진행됩니다. 각 팀들이 자신의 사업 아이템을 들고 나와 피칭을 하면 ‘샤크’라 불리는 심사위원들이 투자하는 형식입니다. 가장 잘 피칭한 팀 셋은 수상을 하게 되며, 아이템의 잠재가치와 가능성에 따라 실제로 스타트업 창업 지원까지 받으실 수 있습니다.
위 설명을 토대로 본 행사에서는 다음과 같은 분들의 참여를 적극적으로 장려하고 있습니다.
– 현재 창업을 준비 중이신 분들
– 창업 아이디어는 있으나 어디서부터 시작해야할지 모르시는 분들
– 창업 아이디어를 구상해보고 싶으신 분들
– 창업에 대한 진로에 대해 알아보고 싶으신 분들
– 창업 관련 네트워킹을 하고 싶으신 분들
본 행사는 4월 27일 ~ 29일, 2박 3일 동안 뉴저지 Hasbrouck Heights 에서 진행됩니다.
마지막으로 KITEE는 한국과 미국에서 활동하는 한인/재미교포 분들의 창업에 대한 적극적인 지원을 하는 협회입니다. 꼭 본 행사가 아니더라도 추후 스타트업에 대해 관심 있으신 분들은
KITEE and FELIX are hosting the 2nd KITEE-FELIX Startup Hackathon (KF Hackathon) on April 27~29, 2023. The KF Hackathon is a No-code Idea-thon that allows the participants to network and experience the startup pitching process. The mentors and organizers will be actively involved through workshops, providing feedback to help harden the startup ideas and prepare for an IR deck and pitching. Although we will select three winners for small cash prizes, consider this as a networking event rather than a competition.
This is an in-person event. Physical presence is required.
Eligibility
Anyone interested in startups can apply while the focus is on the young generation under 35 years old. Those who are working at a funded startup can also participate, but should not use ideas from the startup.
