Outcode selected for DataStars 2022!

POWERTASK, THE OPERATOR OF OUTCODE, HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR THE 2022 DATA-STARS!

‍

Let's chat with Chris about how he came to apply to Datastars and what it was like to participate in Kickoff Day.

‍

Q: WHAT IS DATASTARS?

Organized by the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency, DataStars is a business incubation program that provides data-specific mentoring, infrastructure, and commercialization to help data innovation startups become globally competitive.

‍

Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO APPLY?

Outcode is a platform created to help companies utilize data more systematically. There are not many commercialization programs in Korea that specialize in data, so I joined the program because I thought I could learn a lot from the expert mentors.

‍

Q: WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE PART OF YOUR KICKOFF DAY?

It was great to talk to other startups about data-driven businesses, from mentorship from data and systems experts to tips on raising investment.

‍

Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS YOU CAN SHARE WITH THOSE PREPARING FOR DATASTARS?

Because Datastars is a specialized business incubator with a 25:1 competition rate, it's important to work hard on all of your materials. Here's a tip, I recommend working on your application as if you were creating an investor relations deck or presentation. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible so that it's easy to understand if you've never heard of us before.

‍

With the support of this initiative, the Outcode team plans to grow the service to help automate data.
