This is a time of tragedy and hurt, and so I will slightly change the theme a bit. Let us try to be positive and see the bright side of this wonderful country. I'll do this today by writing a bit on the positive sides of Korean entrepreneurs. Most of these are the reasons why I decided to invest in and support Korean startups, and why I truly believe in the "Creative Economy" vision.

I want to take you on a trip, 8,000 km away. We'll be going to Israel, the 'startup nation', a country of only 7 Million people who is second in the number of NASDAQ IPO's, more than any other country in the world other than the US. But although we want to learn about building startups, I won't be taking you to Herzeliya, the "Hi Tech" city near the Mediterranean sea. We'll be driving from Tel Aviv on the road to Jerusalem, and stop approximately in the middle, at a valley that has nothing but green fields. This place, called "EMEK HA'ELA" will be useful for teaching Korean startups a valuable lesson on how to succeed in taking the startup global.
