✨ GPT Summary 　

A day when, after completing the startup mentoring application and recognizing the inefficiency of preparing for the Preliminary Startup Package, I decided to focus on development.

🎯 Goals

💭 Diary

I completed the application for the 25th K-Global Startup Mentoring Support Project in the first half of 2025. Results are scheduled to come out on March 5.

After completing the application, my start-up partner first suggested that I stop preparing the preliminary start-up package. It was amazing. Actually, I’ve been thinking the same thing for some time, but I didn’t bother mentioning it because I thought it was a rationalization/defense mechanism to be afraid or avoid it.
Since both of us have an intuitive tendency to try to get to the essence, we were both feeling, “Hmm… isn’t this a bit off?” After talking, we found many problems we had in common and could sympathize with.

The main problems were as follows:

• Completed application for Startup Mentoring Support Project: What we needed most was ‘startup mentoring’, not ‘startup support funding’. Now that the mentoring application is complete, that is enough.
• Putting the cart before the horse: In the first place, the Preliminary Startup Package in the Seoul metropolitan area has sky-high competition, so there was a high chance of not being selected. We were going to apply just for the experience… but once we start preparing for this, we cannot focus on development right now. It is already hard enough to focus on development study.
• Inefficient + no fun: It is so inefficient and no fun to keep writing a business plan without an actual app, just scribbling desk theories, guesses, and fiction. There really isn’t a single ‘fun’ part.
• Lack of development capacity: What will you do if you are selected and receive funding? Currently, we are not even able to develop due to lack of development capabilities, so we need to hire developers first. No, what is it? We have to develop it!
• Purpose of MVP development: From the beginning, we wanted to build a variety of minimum viable apps (MVPs) together to build development capability and collaboration experience, and to check market reactions along the way. We did not want to dig deep and stake our lives on a single app. Even getting selected for the Preliminary Startup Package would be a problem. It would become a shackle.

As we talked, it became very clear.

What we need right now is development. The goal is to create numerous MVP apps.

Now that it is clear, Goal 3: Win one startup contest▲ is discarded. It will be replaced later when an appropriate goal arises.

✅ What Went Well (Keep)

• 🔍 Redefinition of essential goals: It is clear and reasonable that we have recognized that mentoring is needed more than start-up support and have adjusted our priorities.
• 💡 Goal shift to focus on development: I liked that they decided that it was more important to build MVP development and collaboration experience and adjusted the direction of execution.
• 📝 Boldly eliminating unnecessary processes: It is impressive that they decided to eliminate inefficient preparation processes (preliminary start-up package) and focus on strengthening development capabilities.

❌ What Was Missing (Problem)

• 📌 New goal undecided: The existing goal (start-up contest) was scrapped, but a specific replacement goal has not been set yet, so the plan is somewhat blank.
• 🔄 Insufficient development roadmap: The goal was to develop MVP, but it seems that a specific roadmap is needed for which app to develop first.
• ⏳ Waiting for mentoring results: As the start-up mentoring results (announced on 3/5) remain, it seems likely that the plan will change accordingly.

🔄 Things to Try (Try)

• 🎯 Reset Goal 3: Instead of the existing ‘winning one startup contest’, why not set the goal of strengthening development capabilities and accumulating collaboration experience? For example, I think it would be better to add a realistic goal like document the development process of 5 MVP apps and write a technical blog.
• 📑 Establishing an MVP development roadmap: Let’s decide which apps will be developed over the next 3 to 6 months, determine the order in which they will be developed, and create a clear roadmap.
• 💬 Concern about the direction after mentoring: The direction of development may vary depending on whether or not mentoring is selected, so consider a preparedness plan.

🏁 Conclusion

Today was an important day when I decided to stop preparing for the startup contest and focus on developing MVP. 🎯 Now that a clear direction has been decided, all that remains is execution! 🚀🔥
