15 Korean startups to watch out for at Echelon

1. AILO Corp. – “We are operating a Digital Goods All-In-One C2E Platform, ‘HAPL’ to innovate the originally complicated process of purchasing and using digital goods and ultimately create a Create to Earn (C2E) ecosystem where anyone can easily become a creator.”
2. ColorLoverLab Co., Ltd. – “Colour styling curation service based on colour data.”
3. FROMtheRED Inc. – “FROMtheRED is a game platform startup company and we have launched a project called ‘’Zempie’’.

4. Funnkyvine Inc. – “PC/Mobile Game Developer and Blockchain/P2E game Developer”

6. Letitu – “Letitu is developing ‘The Pond’, a data/AI-based curriculum builder for high school students who can’t receive college counselling to achieve individual goals and successful college admission.”
7. LOYQU Inc. – “What makes LOYQU’s service different from its traditional taxi tour? In the case of traditional taxi tours, the company allocates the driver after the customer books the journey. Since the company is the one allocating the car and driver, it is hard for customers to find out the vehicle and driver information before the trip. With LOYQU, users can choose the time when they want to meet the driver. Secondly, they can plan their own route and third, users can freely check the vehicle type, condition and drivers based on other users’ reviews. Based on these strengths, LOYQU has been successfully operating services in 17 cities in Korea, including Jeju and Busan.”
8. LXNA GLOBAL – “LXNA GLOBAL is operating ‘Luxury & All’, the first non-face-to-face luxury repair and care platform in South Korea”
9. Mayoube – “We are currently running and developing an app, ‘Beluv’, for parents who have trouble finding safe baby products. Beluv analyses the chemicals in childcare products and provides an easy-to-read rating of their hazards. And based on that analysis, we also provide a chance to purchase safe products at the lowest possible price.”
10. Puzzle Monsters Inc – “Puzzle Monsters is a game development company that provides a leading P2E mobile game in Korea, specialising in ‘Idle Ninja Online’. Our goal is to be the top in the market through flexible adaptation with the latest trends, and the power to drive that idea.”
