In the late 1990s, when there was a venture boom in Korea, a number of KAIST alumni got together to form a group of venture entrepreneurs named \u201cTEKA\u201d. The name TEKA is short for TEHERANRO KAIST. Teheran-ro, translated as Teheran Boulevard, is a street in the Gangnam district of Seoul, where many venture companies experienced their rise and fall in the 90s. .<\/p>\n
Q. Can you introduce TEKA? <\/b><\/p>\n
A. TEKA is established in 1999 by Jaeryun Kwon (currently CEO at Korea M&A). TEKA consists of venture entrepreneurs who graduated from KAIST. Back in the 90s, when there was a venture boom in Korea, a group of KAIST alumni got together to attract venture investors and share information about venture companies.<\/p>\n
Q. What are the main activities of TEKA? <\/b><\/p>\n
A. Most of our members have their hands full at the moment, so we are not looking to carry forward a new business. From time to time we have meetings in a small group of 20 to 30 people to talk about our businesses.<\/p>\n
