Resident companies can use all center facilities by paying a nominal occupancy fee and receive support through related programs including startup education and expert consulting in law, taxation, management, and marketing.

Anyone aged 19 to 39 who is a Seoul citizen and a startup founder within three years or a prospective entrepreneur can apply.
