CNTTEK Hosts Early-Stage Startup ZERO STAGE Demo Day

Leading investment-specialized accelerator CNT Tech successfully held the '2025 Early Startup Package ZERO STAGE Demo Day,' which highlighted the future of innovative startups, at the Kensington Hotel Yeouido, Seoul, on the 9th. The Early Startup Package, hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (KISED), is a key program that supports companies within three years of their founding with commercialization funds and growth. Since 2020, CNT Tech has acted as the host organization for this program, playing a pivotal role in helping early-stage companies settle into the market, validate their growth, and attract successful investments. At the Demo Day, nine excellent startup teams, having passed fierce preliminaries, participated and presented their innovative ideas. They left a deep impression by showcasing technologies and services poised to lead the future across diverse fields such as medical, F&B, mobility, smart farm, education, and commerce. Notably, NeuronSoft, which developed 'PathNote,' an AI-based private mock exam generation and electronic note-taking app, won the grand prize. Choi Young-jae, CEO of NeuronSoft, received great applause in his acceptance speech by expressing his aspiration to "contribute to resolving the educational gap by increasing accessibility to high-quality learning content with AI technology." CNT Tech did not merely stop at holding the Demo Day but also strove to practically strengthen the investment attraction capabilities of the selected companies by providing customized IR consulting programs. Jeon Hwa-sung, CEO of CNT Tech, emphasized that despite the current contraction in the investment market, they "will do their best to strengthen startups' strategic investment capabilities and provide practical opportunities to help vitalize a healthy startup ecosystem," thereby presenting a positive vision for the future.
