We realized that Silicon Valley doesn’t care who you are or where you are from, but only judges you on the quality of your startup (as it should be).
Through beGLOBAL we wanted to open a discussion about Global En-trepreneurship that would benefit entrepreneurs and investors, en-lighten perceptions, and encourage success on a global scale.
We are proud to say that while there is much still to do, we achieved our mission, and look forward to building a great future through collab-oration.
We invite you to join us in this great mission.

Feedback from Entrepreneurs
The main benefit of beGLOBAL was engaging with potential customersin the USA. We are now planning to open our US office.
We had a great chance to speak with Silicon Valley investors at be-GLOBAL.The conference helped us plan our global strategy.
We had a great discussion with [Company] about investment. beGLOBAL really Helped to power our global growth. Also we had great media coverage with OATV.
We applied to Plug&Play, RocketPunch, and Runway at beGLBOAL. The conference opened opportunities we could not imagine before. We also spoke with PandoDaily and other Silicon Valley media about part-nerships.
Through beGlobal, Smile Family was able to meet with many VCs in the valley and get connected to many entrepreneurs in the area rel-evant to their business. By facilitating the business to enter the US market sooner and get involved with the right people earlier, an event like beGlobal will continue to function as an important gate-way for Korean companies to reach the global audience in the future.
