Day 5: Seoul Topis, Auctionary, & Korbit

On the last day of the companies visit, we have a great time meeting with people from Topis, Auctionary, & Korbit. I learn from Seoul Topis that earning the trust from the people is important. Instead of just enforcing the policies, they encourage the people to be more accepting and then implement the policies. For Auctionary, the founder said that in the future, technology will be able to take many roles of people and thus we should start our own business. Also, it is important to start lean and find good partners. Korbit gives very interesting insight about Bitcoin and how they are aiming to grow their users in the future.
The journey in South Korea has been great and enriching. After listening to many people, I realize that it is not easy to start a company. However, I am even more driven right now to start my own company and will continue to refine my own idea. I will take the approach at which I will take a normal office work and prepare for my own company on my free time. This approach will allow me to learn from others and build my idea at the same time.
