Privacy by design.

US Narrative Sprint for Korean founders.

A private 48-hour review for teams preparing for YC, US fundraising, or a serious US-facing conversation.

합격, 투자, 매출을 약속하지 않습니다. 고객의 사업 아이템, 자료, 전략을 보호하기 위해 privacy-first process로 운영합니다. 민감자료는 mutual NDA 이후에만 받고, 팀이 이미 가진 사실을 미국 투자자와 액셀러레이터가 이해하기 쉬운 구조로 정리합니다.

Apply for a private review 3 teams per month. No confidential materials before NDA.

Fit

  • Small Korean founder-led teams building a US-facing story.
  • Preparing for YC, US investor meetings, or a serious market conversation.
  • Already have a deck, application draft, memo, or founder notes.
  • Need a sharper story around market, traction, why now, and founder-market fit.

Sprint

The core service is a focused 48-hour US Narrative Sprint. Founding client pricing starts at $2,500. Final scope, payment, and cancellation terms are shared after fit and mutual NDA.

  • US-facing one-liner and positioning notes.
  • YC application or pitch narrative redline.
  • Readiness review: what is clear, what is missing, what feels too early.
  • US entry notes around customers, fundraising, relocation, and timing.
  • 45-minute YC-style or investor Q&A.

Boundaries

This is not a promise that the company will work, raise money, or get into YC. It is also not the single correct narrative.

The value is an outside founder's view from the current US tech scene: how the company may be understood, where the story is unclear, and what needs to be organized before serious US-facing conversations.

Privacy

  • No confidential decks, metrics, customer names, cap tables, or unreleased strategy before a mutual NDA.
  • Scope calls are privacy-first: voice-only, video-off, and not recorded.
  • If there is no engagement after fit review or fit call, the application response and intake notes are deleted immediately after the decision.
  • After a sprint, client materials are deleted after delivery unless a short retention window is requested in writing.
  • No public client names, logos, case studies, or before/after examples without explicit permission.

The process is designed around the founder's trust: your company idea, materials, strategy, and decision-making context are protected before review begins.

함께 진행하지 않기로 하면 intake notes는 결정 직후 바로 삭제합니다. Sprint가 완료되면 고객 자료는 delivery 이후 삭제합니다.

Process

  1. Submit a non-confidential application with company context, stage, materials type, deadline, and what feels stuck.
  2. If there may be a fit, receive next steps for a private 20-minute scope call.
  3. The fit call is for scope only. Please do not share sensitive details during the call.
  4. If there is a fit, both sides sign a mutual NDA before sensitive materials or private proof are shared.
  5. After NDA, serious buyers receive limited private proof and a final scope.
  6. After invoice payment, the sprint begins and you receive the memo, redlines, and live Q&A.

If the sprint does not move forward, the application response and non-confidential intake notes are deleted immediately after the decision. Tactical review starts only after NDA and payment.

Apply

Submit a short non-confidential application with your company, stage, what you are preparing for, what feels stuck, your deadline, and whether a sprint starting at $2,500 is comfortable.
