Three capabilities. One engagement.
Every engagement combines buyer research, outreach, and commercial support. The work is not split into discrete deliverables.
Strategic buyer introductions
Identification of U.S. buyers relevant to your product, with direct outreach calibrated to each company’s procurement process.
Cross-cultural & commercial support
Translation between Korean and American business norms across the sales cycle — meeting briefings, real-time interpretation, negotiation guidance.
Ongoing deal coordination
Support from first meeting through negotiation and buyer follow-up — follow-up coordination, sample logistics, contract coordination, and vendor onboarding.
How the work runs.
Four practices that hold across every engagement, regardless of sector or deal size.
Founder-led engagements
Engagements are run end-to-end by the firm’s principals. The same person handles research, outreach, negotiation support, contract coordination, and post-close follow-up.
Ongoing buyer coordination
Involvement runs from first outreach through active buyer engagement — including follow-up coordination, sample logistics, contract coordination, and U.S. vendor onboarding.
Bilateral operations
Operations run from Seoul and the United States. Buyer relationships are built and maintained on the U.S. side; client coordination is handled on the Seoul side.
Retainer + success structure
Engagements combine a monthly retainer with success fees tied to closed business. Pure-commission and pay-per-lead arrangements are not part of the firm’s commercial structure.
Every engagement begins with a discovery call.
A 30-minute conversation about your product, your U.S. commercial objectives, and the right structure for moving forward.
