The networking program 'Lonely CEOs Season 3', planned and hosted by the founders themselves, successfully concluded on the 15th at Hongdae's Seogyo Place.
Approximately 130 entrepreneurs and C-level leaders participated in this event, sharing their concerns candidly, exchanging business insights, and forming deep bonds.
The event began with an informal networking session at 7 p.m., followed by an icebreaker and sponsor introductions at 8 p.m. Even after the official schedule, discussions continued until dawn. The first 60 attendees received free photo passes from the photography service Picdot, further enriching the atmosphere.
The hosts of this season 3 are entrepreneurs who are active in their respective fields.
Concon CEO Seo So-young said, “Thanks to our commonality as CEOs, we were able to become closer more quickly, and I am glad that this became a place where we could exchange good insights and information.”
StepHow CEO Hwang Seong-wook said, “Entrepreneurs often have lonely moments when they have to make decisions alone, but it was gratifying to see that through this meeting, they were becoming friends and business partners.”
ZeroOneRepublic CEO Kim Gyu-ri said, "I hope today's connection will inspire new courage for everyone, as entrepreneurs who have quietly walked their own paths have come together to support one another." DevD CEO Kim Ki-tae shared his thoughts, saying, "It was a night that once again reminded me that when great entrepreneurs connect, things beyond imagination can begin."
This season's third season has been enriched by the participation of sponsors from across the startup ecosystem. These sponsors include ZUZU, Serendist, Milestone Patent Law Firm, Geun Tax Firm, Pickdot, Finest, Willow Patent Firm, Gamtanju, Breadhyphen, Morecation, Dogshunt, and Jerky Realism.
"Lonely CEOs" is a self-directed networking program where entrepreneurs, who must make all decisions on their own, can let go of their loneliness and share the psychological and management burdens of each other. Season 4 is slated for 2026.
