Startup Alliance announced 22 new member companies at the 'Startup Ecosystem Conference 2025 (hereinafter referred to as SsaengCon)' held on the 22nd. These new members are comprised of major investment firms and IT companies that are actively working in the domestic startup ecosystem, and Startup Alliance plans to systematically establish a foundation for cooperation with them for the sustainable development of the ecosystem.
The new members include Decamp, Altos Ventures, Gowid, Dunamu & Partners, Mashup Ventures, Murex Partners, Base Ventures, Mission Law Firm, Bluepoint, Signite, Sparklab, Strong Ventures, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Jiranji Education Soft, Kakao, TVT Partners, Primer, Futureplay, Translink Investment, SBVA, IMM Investment, and Judy Chang Law Firm, for a total of 22 companies. Including existing member Naver, the total number of members increases to 23.
With this membership expansion, Startup Alliance has expanded its cooperation network beyond its previous Naver-centered sponsorship system to the entire startup ecosystem, and expects to activate the ecosystem by combining expertise in various fields with a global network. In particular, the fact that many of the new members have international networks is expected to be an important foundation for Korean startups to advance overseas and expand global linkage programs.
Director Lee Ki-dae of the center said, “For the time being, we plan to focus on establishing a practical startup support business through close cooperation with current partners rather than expanding the number of member companies.”
Now in its 10th year, SsaengCon is a conference where stakeholders from across the startup ecosystem, including investment firms, large corporations, government agencies, startup support organizations, and universities, gather to share the latest issues and strategies. At this event, various insights were discussed focusing on topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), bio, and global market entry.
