WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO
Koisra Seed Partners (KSP), Seoul-based Korean-Israeli startup accelerator, provides early-stage Korean tech startups with pre-seed funding and guides them to the global market by tapping into the Israel’s successful startup eco-system with help of Israeli mentors’ experience and expertise
KSP MISSION
Our mission is to foster innovation in Korea and support the startups to become global market leaders. KSP believes Korean startups have a great potential to succeed on global scale, with a large pool of talents, sheer determination and ceaseless efforts to succeed. We also believe these are similar to Israel’s experience, and thus the know-how of “Start-up Nation” will be the most effective tool for helping Korean startups become next global superstars.

Problems are not just problems nor pain points,
Problems are the Opportunities
STARTUP’S BEST FRIEND
SURVIVING BEFORE THRIVING- NOT BEING DEFAULT DEAD
On family: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
On startups? “Each successful startup is successful in its own way; all failing startups are failing alike.”
TO SURVIVE BEFORE THRIVING
Focus and Speed are the competitive advantages vs. Silos and stairs
Only with a released Product comes real Learning from customers and users
Do not be afraid to make Mistakes early and often, in order to succeed sooner
Keep the team Small as much as possible, as long as possible
Founders are the super heroes
