The Scaleups
Mind the Bridge was selected by KISED (Korea) to run their KISED GMEP Program for 15 rigorously evaluated startups.
The program is divided in two parts:
- 15 startups were evaluated and chosen from a batch of about 70 companies. They are joining our digital immersion program and will be exposed to 10+ top Silicon Valley senior experts on specific critical areas needed for the startups;
- The 15 companies then proceeded to the Market Entry program. During this part, we’ll introduce them to potential business development channels as well as mentors on technical-specific areas.
The final graduation and demo day will happen at the end of the program.
We are excited to have fifteen new Korean startups in our ecosystem.
