Startup Israel

“LOOK, HERE COMES THAT DREAMER.”

This book is a record of the bold dreams and challenges of author DAVID Ok, who is the CEO of the Korea Israel Business Council and the founder of Kkummer Space. After learning, understanding, and loving Israel, the author's new dream is to make the startup DNA of Israel bloom in South Korea.

Therefore, ‘dreamer’ DAVID Ok dreams that ‘Startup Israel’ will become ‘Startup South Korea’ in the future. He has been visiting Israel for over 10 years, and he willingly shares his valuable network, which he has built up with difficulty, from former prime ministers to startup legends, for those who dream like himself.

One person's dream and passion make another person's heart beat. DAVID Ok hopes that young Koreans are full of global dreams and passions like himself in their youth and is working with them to create a playground for dreamers. He dreams, plays, challenges, and longs to share at Kkummer Space. So, this is ultimately the life he wants.

“A person who lived as he dreamed."
