Ehsan's Market Analysis

Seoul stands out as a fintech market hub with 3,500+ active startups. The city's tech talent score of 88/100 provides a strong foundation, though average salaries of $75K affect unit economics for early-stage companies. My advice for companies entering this market: find the 2-3 local community anchors, build relationships with key angel investors, and test product-market fit with a focused ICP before scaling.
