Elpis Labs in Korea: Supporting the KSC Deeptech Program July 2025

In July 2025, Elpis Labs was on the ground in Korea as part of the KSC Deeptech Korean Startups Program, supporting one of Korea’s leading initiatives aimed at preparing deeptech founders for global expansion.

Our team worked closely with the promising seed and stage-A cohort to provide guidance on founder readiness, international market entry, and early-stage investor positioning — helping startups better understand what it takes to scale beyond Korea.

Throughout the program, we engaged with founders building in AI, robotics, biotech, sustainability, and next-generation hardware. Elpis Labs focused on practical, actionable support: refining go-to-market strategies, strengthening pitch narratives, and offering insights into the U.S. and global commercialization landscape.

Our presence in Korea reinforced our mission to bridge innovation ecosystems and support founders on their journey from local success to global impact. The July sessions became a strong starting point for deeper collaboration as the cohort advanced toward the next phases of international growth.
