IGNITE-HER — The Korea Beauty Founder Accelerator. Build your beauty brand, powered by Korea.
Traditional business courses teach theory. IGNITE-HER gives you industry knowledge, supplier resources, manufacturing education, startup ecosystem guidance, and a founder community built around one country's specific advantage.
A business concept, customer profile, and positioning statement stress-tested before you spend on production.
OEM vs. ODM clarity, a supplier outreach list, MOQ guidance, and a realistic production roadmap.
Pricing, distribution, and a 90-day founder roadmap you can execute the day the cohort ends.
Each week is built like a manufacturing run — a clear goal, defined inputs, and a shipped deliverable.
Goal — Validate the business idea and build a strong foundation before spending money on production.
Goal — Understand how products are actually manufactured in Korea.
Goal — Learn how Korea supports founders and where expansion opportunities exist.
Goal — Create a realistic, fundable launch plan.
Directories, templates, and guides you keep for as long as you're building.
Pay in full, or split it with Klarna at checkout.
