SNU Tech Holdings Launches 2nd Supporters Cohort, Starts 4-Month Partnership with Startups

A special opportunity for SNU talents who will lead future innovation! SNU Holdings' ambitious 'SNU Holdings Supporters 2nd Cohort' has officially commenced. This 2nd cohort of supporters, embarking on a grand journey of approximately four months, consists of 12 Seoul National University students with deep interest in startups and the investment ecosystem. The selected passionate students will go beyond being mere observers and directly experience the heart of the startup ecosystem. They are expected to play a leading role in practical projects, such as planning and producing interviews with entrepreneurs, participating in events of SNU Holdings' portfolio companies, and interacting with investment practitioners. Particularly, with the participation of students from not only liberal arts and sciences but also specialized STEM fields like pre-medical and pharmaceutical sciences, a wealth of content is anticipated that will illuminate the startup ecosystem from diverse perspectives. Through this activity, SNU Holdings actively supports students in encountering vivid stories from the startup scene and gaining practical networking opportunities with investment and incubation institutions. The supporters will build their own unique portfolios by capturing the growth process, technological value, and entrepreneurial philosophy of startups invested in and nurtured by SNU Holdings, through various forms of content. After the program concludes, in-depth networking sessions will also be provided, offering a solid career foundation for students who aspire to be future entrepreneurs or investors. This supporters program stems from SNU Holdings' philosophy, which recognizes social contribution and problem-solving through entrepreneurship as a new mission for the university, beyond mere education and research. Just as it participated as an early investor in the AI semiconductor company 'Rebellions' and supported the growth of a unicorn company, SNU Holdings is leading the way in discovering and fostering technology-based startups with high growth potential. At the same time, SNU Holdings operates this supporters program hoping that students will proactively participate in this dynamic startup ecosystem and become active intermediaries. Ultimately, the supporters will be connectors who make entrepreneurial stories and technological values known to the world, and a valuable starting point for students to grow into future innovation leaders, entrepreneurs, or investors. Mok Seung-hwan, CEO of SNU Holdings, stated, "Supporters serve as a bridge connecting startups and the public," adding, "Through this 2nd cohort's activities, we hope students will make a strong leap forward as future innovation talents based on a deep understanding of the startup ecosystem."
