Uptempo Global Launches 'XTEMPO', a Startup Investment and Consulting Service with Exit Founders

Uptempo Global (CEO Jonghoon Oh), a global business specialist, has launched ‘XTEMPO,’ an investment, fundraising, and startup consulting service in collaboration with multiple venture company exit founders.

Extempo is a startup-tailored service that directly invests in early-stage startups with founders who have directly experienced 10-50 billion won exits, and supports founders to survive and grow. In particular, companies that are still lacking indicators to receive investment can receive professional coaching from exit founders, such as alternatives to secure necessary funds and bootstrapping strategies to survive even in the stage of insufficient funds.

Companies supported by Xtempo can significantly strengthen practical capabilities necessary for startup growth, such as domestic and international marketing, global market GTM (Go-to-Market), technology development, and new business PoC (Proof of Concept), beyond investment and funding needs. Uptempo Global has accumulated sales of over KRW 20 billion over the past 10 years and is a company recognized for its comprehensive performance by over 200 clients, and jointly operates the Xtempo service.

Uptempo Global CEO Jonghoon Oh said, “There are many investors such as VCs and ACs in the market, but it is not common for people to actually establish a startup, grow it, and experience a successful exit,” adding, “Verified exit founders and Uptempo Global’s practical veterans will work together to help more startups survive and grow.” He added, “We plan to support various resources, such as introducing related AI technologies, so that the companies we support can secure a stable runway without making the mistake of using up the funds too quickly. In this way, we aim to become a startup survival partner that goes beyond a simple investor.”
