Today, I'd like to introduce the Shinhan Square Bridge Daegu Networking Day, operated by Shinhan Financial Group and Shinhan Hope Foundation.
What is Shinhan Square Bridge, you ask?
I was curious too, so I immediately searched it up on Naver.
It's a program that nurtures and invests in innovative technology startups, helping them grow into global unicorns!
Wow, that sounds pretty amazing.
Looking into it further,
it's an accelerating program that selects startups from various regions like Seoul, Daegu, Jeju, and Incheon with diverse innovation keywords across different fields, supporting them to grow into future unicorn companies.
Awesome, awesome!
Among the various regional Shinhan Square Bridge programs in Seoul, Incheon, Jeju, and other areas,
the place where today's interactive educational workshop <Predicted Hacking> was held was
none other than
Shinhan Square Bridge Daegu!
I took the KTX and got off at Dongdaegu Station,
and I was amazed by how great the Daegu Shinsegae Department Store was.
Me,
a Seoul girl,
going to Daegu
and being totally surprised!
Startups seem like entities with deadly charm—
really fierce competition,
but carrying wonderful possibilities
equal to that fierceness.
Meeting many startup CEOs,
I hear and encounter the title 'founder' quite often.
The English expression for a startup founder is
'founder', right!
Did you all know this?
That the English word 'Founder' exists not just as a noun but also as a verb!
English 'founder' isn't just a noun
but also exists as a verb!!!???
I actually didn't know this until recently.
That 'founder' also has a verb meaning!
CEO Kim Jung-tae of MySocialCompany told me about it!
What could be the verb meaning of 'founder',
which as a noun means founder or establisher?
Let's think about it for a moment.
FOUNDER noun meaning: founder, establisher
FOUNDER verb meaning: to sink, collapse, fail
I almost fainted when I learned this verb meaning.
It was so amazingly fitting
that the verb expression of founder
matches reality so well.
Startup Average Survival Rates
After 1 year: 79.0%
After 2 years: 68.4%
After 3 years: 55.2%
OECD countries' startup average survival rates
With such tremendous failure rates and uncertainty,
startup CEOs who do business through changes and challenges are truly amazing.
But can a business succeed with just the startup company alone?
Quality startup nurturing programs,
accelerating education, and incubation ecosystems are so important.
The place where today's education was conducted
is exactly the place doing this important work—
Shinhan Square Bridge Daegu, which does startup incubation and nurturing acceleration!
Startup Networking Day held at the Shinhan Square Bridge hub space!!!
(The space was really nice^^)
The program conducted at today's Startup Networking Day was
Realworld <Predicted Hacking>,
where trainees directly become the protagonists and physically experience
cooperation and communication leadership.
Fighting against the hacker's warnings,
you have to solve encrypted files within 60 minutes!
Somewhat awkward,
and as startup people always are, tired,
and this embarrassing feeling with the person next to you...
But
with the start of the Predicted Hacking education,
all these uncomfortable feelings disappear
and we all become one.
While competing fiercely,
just like organizations and companies,
cooperation is absolutely necessary.
So important but
a concept we keep missing and forgetting—
cooperation, collective impact!
Starting like competition but requiring cooperation to achieve goals,
through the experiential education of Predicted Hacking,
workshop participants
naturally come to realize that
all our organizational members
are running together
toward a common goal!
Because organizations,
companies,
and startups
can't save the world alone!
Teams,
people,
colleagues' cooperation is absolutely necessary!
While conducting interactive educational programs,
<Predicted Hacking> is structured to allow
very natural and objective observation of
my way of approaching work,
my attitude toward accepting points of cooperation
in moments of competition,
and colleagues' behaviors.
To solve the final mission,
you must cooperate,
and in that process, various organizational members'
cultures, communication styles,
and attitudes are expressed.
Where did the initially awkward and face-to-face atmosphere go?
Everyone stands up, talks, cheers,
even runs to other teams to help—
have you ever seen anything like this?
The process master
observes these behaviors
and talks about the importance of
communication,
leadership,
problem-solving,
and communication!
This seems to be the real advantage of
interactive education
rather than one-way education!
Because you have to learn through your body,
realize through experience,
only then
can good messages
be accepted without resistance.
Communication,
leadership,
problem-solving,
communication,
collective impact—
These are such precious
and valuable stories,
but as one-way messages,
they're often just nice-sounding slogans.
Today,
I introduced you to
an experiential education program
conducted as a networking day
within a startup accelerating program—
collective impact education
where you physically learn cooperation and communication,
<Predicted Hacking>.
