Investment in Startup Providing Smart Quarantine and Pest Control Solutions
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Barogo (CEO Lee Taekwon) announced on the 22nd that it has signed a strategic investment agreement with Saycle (CEO Hong Sangjin), a startup providing smart quarantine and pest control solutions.
Saycle is a startup that offers space-customized quarantine and pest control solutions. It allows real-time service requests remotely and provides services within 24 hours after the request. Upon completion of the service, a detailed report and certificate are issued immediately.
