Hwasung Jeon's Startup Insights #1047: Cozy Home Life with Cozymakers

Every day at 8:40 AM, 'Startup Morning Coffee,' broadcast live on the YouTube channel 'Jeon Hwa-sung's CNTV,' and hosted by CEO Jeon Hwa-sung, is a key platform that deeply spotlights startups with growth potential, communicates with viewers in real-time, and fosters a healthy startup ecosystem. Today, we will focus specifically on the story of 'Cozy Makers,' a company leading innovation in the mental health sector, a critical challenge for Korean society. Cozy Makers is gaining attention for introducing 'Green Mate,' an innovative solution designed to lower the barrier to mental health services. The reality in Korea, which has the highest suicide rate among OECD countries, clearly demonstrates the absence of effective prevention and management systems for stress and depression. Against this backdrop, Cozy Makers is adding social value by proposing a 'preventive' mental health management solution. This company, which solidified its foundation through the Dongguk University Startup CEO and Investment Reviewer program in collaboration with CNT Tech and Dongguk University, aims to provide practical help to mentally exhausted modern individuals. Beyond simply treating symptoms, Green Mate analyzes users' psychological issues, provides personalized reports, and supports self-diagnosis features and connections to expert counseling. The core objective is to propose practical solutions that enable mentally exhausted individuals to improve their situations and effectively manage stress on their own. The unique strengths of Cozy Makers' Green Mate are 'accessibility' and 'personalization.' For those who have kept their distance from mental health services due to psychological, economic, or physical barriers, Green Mate offers self-care solutions that allow them to take care of themselves from a preventive perspective. Centering on the keywords 'gamification' and 'authenticity,' it has transformed potentially tedious mental care into an engaging experience. Users can select personalized content based on their situations and needs, and cognitive-behavioral-based content combined with sophisticated data analysis using AI leads to hyper-personalized solutions, helping users identify the root causes of their problems and find solutions themselves. CEO Jeon Hwa-sung highly praised Cozy Makers' approach, stating, "It will play a crucial role in establishing a preventive stress and depression management culture that is urgently needed in our society." Cozy Makers is taking the lead in resolving blind spots in the mental health sector and helping everyone lead healthy lives.
