I am currently co-leading North America's Startup GP program. A collaboration project between KOTRA's Global Partnering and Overseas Startup Assistance Program. This effort is a part of Korean President Park Geun-hye's "Creative Economy" policy designed to help promising Korean startups connect with leading Corporate Venture Capital firms in the US for potential partnership and investment opportunities.
Lastly, I am the Head of Medical GP. Connect US based Medical and Pharmaceutical companies with Korean counterparts and implement R&D projects, which are co-funded by the Korean government, and I.P. licensing.
