Recently, a growing number of startups have been formed by alumni of KAIST’s College of Business. A good example is Brewguru, a beverage company founded by Sang-jae Park of the Techno MBA program and his peers. After succeeding in starting a craft beer company, Park launched a kombucha brewing company. The co-founders are Hyun-jin Chu of the same program, and Hyung-jin Kim, who completed the PhD program in management engineering. Their stepping stone to success was KAIST’s College of Business, where they got to know one another. They were featured in a news article for giving up 100 million won in annual income to embark on a startup adventure.

Park said that he met reliable, talented colleagues at KAIST’s College of Business. He described the school as a place to meet well-prepared talent who demonstrate good character and initiative.
