The Seoul Center for Creative Economy and Innovation (Director Hwang Yoon-kyung) announced that it will hold an online conference called ‘2021 RESTART+ (hereinafter Restart Plus)’ on December 10, which features investor lectures on the current startup ecosystem needed by (preliminary) re-entrepreneurs and shares know-how from senior re-entrepreneurs.
The Restart Plus conference, held for the first time, was organized to share ‘investment attraction success strategies you should not miss’ and ‘vivid re-entrepreneurship know-how.’
The first part of the event will include lectures such as ▲Success story by Kim Min-cheol, CEO of Yanadoo ▲Investment attraction success strategies you should not miss by Choi Kyung-hee, partner at Sopoong Ventures. Following the lectures, a talk concert will provide an opportunity to resolve questions about Kim Min-cheol’s story of reaching cumulative sales of 200 billion KRW through repeated successes and failures, and about impact investing by Sopoong Ventures.
In the second part, successful cases of re-entrepreneurship by companies selected for the Re-challenge Success Package, nurtured by the Seoul Center for Creative Economy and Innovation from 2019 to 2021, will be shared. The three speakers sharing their success know-how are ▲Lee Jin-yeol, CEO of Korea Senior Research Institute ▲Moon Yeon-yoon, CEO of Moriented ▲Lee Yong-il, CEO of Sugarhill. Based on their experiences of failure and re-challenge, they will impart know-how on how they successfully bounced back. Lee Jin-yeol will lecture on his story of successfully attracting 10 billion KRW in investment, Moon Yeon-yoon will share the three-year survival story of a marketing company that survived without external capital, and Lee Yong-il will talk about ‘Nemo, innovation in new business spaces’ and communicate with participants during the talk show.
