PROJECT TYPE

Startup Acceleration

CONTEXT

The South Korean Government aims to diversify its economy by supporting the acceleration and growth of tech startups abroad. To this purpose they have established nine accelerators around the world, including one in NYC run by Think Creative since 2021.
The Think Creative U.S.-based acceleration program is highly customized for the needs of each startup. In that sense, we offer specific workshops and networking events and assign each of them a Startup Success Mentor to support them and help them grow throughout the program. Our program structure includes one month online + two months on site + two months continued support afterwards.

Roughly 50% of the startups in the 2023 cohort started selling or increased sales in the U.S. as a direct outcome of their participation in the program. 30% have initiated conversations to launch in the U.S. and 20% have decided to wait and continue working on their product-market fit.
