[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seocho-gu (Mayor Cho Eun-hee) has selected two final teams (DeepLe, Dr.Tail, etc.) for the '1st Seoul Startup Cafe Startup Challenge' at the Seocho Gyodae branch through the 'Seoul Startup Cafe Seocho Gyodae Branch (operated by the Blue Tree Foundation)'.


The city has been conducting the 1st Seoul Startup Cafe Startup Challenge since March through 11 branches of the 'Seoul Startup Cafe,' a space for exchanging startup information for prospective entrepreneurs.


To prepare for the challenge, the district selected capable startup teams through a preliminary screening process with a high competition rate of 11 to 1, providing programs such as 1:1 dedicated mentoring, group consulting by major fields, Startup Challenge CEO special lectures, and non-face-to-face networking with branch membership members to support teams participating in the branch preliminaries.


The two teams finally selected will each receive business support at the Seocho Gyodae branch and will be given the opportunity to advance to the screening process for professional accelerating at the Seoul Startup Hub operated by the Seoul Business Agency (SBA).


Subsequently, the final 10 teams that pass both the first and second stages of the main screening will receive a two-month professional incubation program at the Seoul Startup Hub.


The final selected teams are ‘DeepLe (CEO Park Jung-woo)’, a service that recognizes videos with AI and automatically inserts sound effects matching the video, and ‘Dr.Tail (CEO Lee Dae-hwa)’, an online veterinary consultation platform service based on pet medical records.


They shared their thoughts, saying, “Through the support of the Seoul Startup Cafe Seocho Gyodae branch, we were able to secure initial users by receiving help in improving practical marketing indicators,” and “Through the Seoul Startup Cafe Seocho Gyodae branch, we were able to receive consulting in various fields such as marketing and law, which are hard to find elsewhere, which greatly helped our business advancement.”


Meanwhile, the Seoul Startup Cafe Seocho Gyodae branch plans to resume the operation of existing major programs such as 1:1 basic/professional consulting and the startup basic education course Dudu Academy from July.



Seocho-gu Mayor Cho Eun-hee said, “We will not spare investment to prepare a startup support space that realizes the dreams and imaginations of prospective entrepreneurs amid the economic downturn caused by COVID-19,” and added, “We will provide continuous mentoring support, not just fragmented consulting, from basic counseling to professional consulting.”
