[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Jun-hee, the mayor of Gwanak-gu, is drawing attention by showing efforts to revitalize the Nakseong Venture Startup Center, which he is ambitiously promoting.

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will hold an education session titled "How to Attract Angel Investment for Early-Stage Business Funding" on the 27th at the Nakseong Venture Startup Center (2 Nakseong-daero, Gwanak-gu) for (preliminary) entrepreneurs.

This session will be delivered by Partner Shim Gyu-byeong of SQubic Angels, who will lecture on practical methods for attracting angel investment, including how to receive angel investment and how to prepare an IR DECK.

The lecture will be conducted online via ZOOM from 3 PM to 5 PM on the 27th, targeting early-stage startups seeking investment. It will consist of a 1-hour lecture followed by a 1-hour Q&A session.

Additionally, about five participating companies will be selected by lottery to participate in a follow-up program, the "Mock IR Program," scheduled for August.

Applications can be submitted by 4 PM on the 23rd through a Google link posted on the bulletin board or blog of the Nakseong Venture Startup Center website.

For more detailed information regarding the lecture, inquiries can be made directly to the Nakseong Venture Startup Center.

Meanwhile, based on the excellent local resources of youth and Seoul National University, the district is actively promoting the "Gwanak S Valley" project, centered on the two major pillars of "Nakseong Venture Valley" and "Sillim Startup Valley." Over three years, this has resulted in the creation of 11 startup spaces in Gwanak, which was previously a barren land for startups.

By next year, a total of 16 spaces will be established, and institutional foundations that encourage voluntary corporate inflow, such as tax benefits through designation as a venture business promotion district and district unit redevelopment, will be put in place to firmly establish the position as a venture startup city.

Opened in March last year, the "Nakseong Venture Startup Center" is a key facility of Gwanak S Valley, currently housing 17 resident companies. It supports and nurtures local (preliminary) entrepreneurs and excellent startups through various programs such as mentoring, IR, and market research support.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, "I hope this education will provide practical help to (preliminary) entrepreneurs who lack information on how to attract investment and serve as an opportunity for companies to grow to the next level. We will continue to devote efforts to preparing various support programs that promote the settlement of many (preliminary) entrepreneurs in the region and the growth of companies."
