Eighteen businesses sponsored by the DKU Startup Support Foundation’s initial startup package program last year have recorded KRW 10 billion in revenue and successfully attracted KRW 5 billion in investments.
On March 17, Dankook’s Startup Support Foundation, headed by Kihoon Yeom, held a Startup Performance Presentation at the El Tower in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. There, the 18 startups shared their business results and held prototype demonstrations of their products. It was a meaningful gathering where each startup shared the story behind their business and how they attracted investments.
According to the Startup Support Foundation, these startups applied for over 40 patents during the past year and created 50 new jobs thanks to support from the university. Lucky Home Inc., a pet product startup, registered over KRW 2 billion in revenue, while Mona Electric Inc., a secondary battery equipment manufacturer, succeeded in attracting KRW 900 million from investors.
