Proper mentorship is one of the most important success factors for startups.

We know that Israel is recognized today as a "startup nation" with the second largest number of start-ups in the world after the U.S., and with the largest number of Nasdaq-listed companies outside North America.

Israeli startups possess a unique quality in that they are always looking at the global market; Israeli startups almost never target the local market, and this is one of the reasons for their great global success. We want to import this thinking to Korea via our Israeli mentors. 

Toward this end, we selected a pool of successful and highly experienced mentors from Israel who are currently top executives, board members, angel investors, and startup advisors. Most importantly, they are very passionate about passing their knowledge on to help startups succeed.

The mentors bring experience in development, design, financial, marketing and sales. They have experience in building successful products to global markets. They all have experience working for multinational companies and a versatile understanding of how to build a company that can grow from 5 people to 5,000.

Our mentors work closely with the entrepreneurs, provide guidance and help, record milestones, give useful tips, and review or monitor the objectives.

The mentors serve a dual purpose:

• Selection: Since the mentors will commit time and effort, they will only choose startups they believe have a good chance to succeed. They will also choose startups that the mentors feel they can help, or are within their realm of expertise.
• Full alignment with the program's goals: Since the mentors receive most of their compensation for their time through equity or carried interest, their goal is to help the company reach a successful exit so that they can be well compensated for their time and effort. This is the goal of the program, as well as that of the startup founders.

We believe that with Israeli unique know-how we can provide the best mentorship Korean startups need to succeed.

Below is a list of some of our great mentors.

KOISRA Seed Partners is a Korea-based seed fund and accelerator, which focuses on transforming Korean startups into global success stories through the mentoring and networks of well-established Israeli entrepreneurs.

Our vision is to foster innovation in Korea and help transcend the startups into global market leaders. We believe Korean startups have great potential to succeed in global scale, with great pool of talents, sheer determination and efforts to succeed, and nationwide enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. We also believe these conditions are similar to Israel, and thus the know-how of the "Startup Nation" will be the most effective tool to help Korean startup aspiring to be the next global superstar.

KSP's acceleration program provides office space and up to ₩30,000,000 initial funding. But most of all, we have a pool of experienced Israeli mentors, who had made IPO in NASDAQ or sold their companies to global tech giants. We believe this mentoring is unique among all the other opportunities found in Korea, and thus can proudly present to determined and tireless Korean entrepreneurs.

Our mentors’ expertise, and thusly our focus, lies in the Enterprise market, and specifically on Mobile, Medical, IoT, Cyber Security, Internet, Robotics, E-commerce and Telecom.
