Underdogs, a practical startup education company, launched 'StartYours', a startup education website, on the 12th. Since 2015, Underdogs has been fostering over 10,000 entrepreneurs with the motto of 'education that helps practical startups'. Through StartYours, Underdogs plans to provide practical and systematic education. The main users of StartYours are (prospective) entrepreneurs who can selectively take courses needed at each stage of startup. In particular, users can receive problem-solving help through 1:1 coaching with Underdogs expert coaches or startup experts online. Later, an entrepreneur community service will also be operated where entrepreneurs can share concerns and grow together. Additionally, StartYours serves as a platform where startup education content producers and consumers can meet. Entrepreneurs with their own startup know-how can directly register startup know-how content and generate revenue. Courses are updated monthly focusing on three categories. They are divided into startup education courses that provide essential methodologies for startups from perspective derivation to IR pitch preparation, business courses covering various job functions from management accounting to proposal writing and collaboration tool utilization, and interviews with entrepreneurs one step ahead who share know-how from building stable businesses through various trial and error. Currently, about 40 lectures are available, including Underdogs' original startup methodology and interviews with 'Kitchen Today CEO Kim Du-hee', a restaurant operating actively even during COVID-19. In addition, there is a package course category where users can purchase packages including expert coaching, individual lectures, and coaching credits. In particular, package courses are designed to help (prospective) entrepreneurs receiving startup support funds such as Youth Startup Academy, Pre-startup Package, and Initial Startup Package. Co-founder Cho Sang-rae of Underdogs stated, "The barrier to entry for startups has lowered, and more people are challenging entrepreneurship. However, since there is no one answer to entrepreneurship, frustration is inevitable. Through StartYours, we want to help entrepreneurs solve both small and large problems together and build their businesses stably. Through this, we will contribute to creating a more solid startup ecosystem." Source: Platum (https://platum.kr/)
