Community Catalyst
Basically my HN bio:
I bake a community at Plivo. I was born and raised in "South" Korea. After 2 years of compulsory military service, I headed to Finland where I did interesting projects:
-
startuplife.fi: co-managed a startup internship program connecting talents in Finland and startups in SV/SF/NYC. (27% had prior startup-related exp. -> 80% later ended up working at startups or founding one.)
- Dayforfailure.com: built a new holiday (Oct 13th) to think about failure and take lessons from it. 55 local events in 18 cities. Pitched Paulo Coelho and failed miserably.
- Aaltoes.com & Startupsauna.com: I was part of the largest student entrepreneur network and yc of Northern Europe as a sole Asian reinforcement.
- I used to play Starcraft really well globally and not so spectacularly locally. I liked the games of Shigeru Miyamoto, Will Wright, Jonathan Blow, and Sid Meier.
- I am from Gangnam, Korea. And I do not subscribe to the typical mode of life there.
