MokTalk: Singapore, Held in Its Largest Scale Ever
On the 14th, the MokTalk: Singapore event was held at Caldwell House in Singapore, co-hosted by d·camp and K-Growth, with over 100 participants including Korean investment institutions, startups, and global VCs. MokTalk is a monthly community meetup program of d·camp, designed to help overseas-expanding startups build their local networks. It has been running since September last year and has been held in Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
How d·camp Helps Korean Startups Expand Overseas
The highlight of this MokTalk : Singapore was the facilitation of connections between Korean investment institutions, global VCs, and Korean startups. 4 Korean investment institutions, about 30 global VCs, and 17 Korean startups participated.
For a startup's successful overseas growth, partnerships with local VCs who are well-versed in the local market are essential. Korean investment institutions can encourage local VC investment in Korean startups and help build partnerships through global fund investments. d·camp has created a total of 10 global funds since 2013 and is considering investing in global funds this year as well.
Today, 17 Korean startups, including d·camp’s family companies like Colosseum Corporation and Headless, had the opportunity to present their business models to local VCs. Following the startup presentations, the networking session included not only official participants but also representatives from Singapore's leading entrepreneurial agency, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), and OCBC, the second-largest bank in Singapore by assets, continuing the networking with Korean investment institutions and startups.
