Hello, We are KisStartup!
Update from us

Founded in 2015, KisStartup was established with the mission of accompanying the startup community and businesses in strengthening innovation capacity, helping business models grow effectively and generate meaningful value for society.

Innovation – The core capability in a constantly evolving world
When innovation is mentioned, many immediately think of tech startups, modern research labs, or groundbreaking inventions. However, through over a decade of working alongside enterprises, startups, universities, development organizations, and regulatory bodies across various regions, KisStartup has observed that innovation manifests in far more diverse forms than we realize.

Reverse Pitching – Starting with the Right Problem Statement
While we have long been familiar with the traditional image of startups standing on stage to pitch their ideas to investors or large corporations, a new trend has been increasingly surfacing across global innovation ecosystems in recent years: Reverse Pitching.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - NOT JUST TECHNOLOGY, BUT AN ENTERPRISE’S CAPACITY TO ADAPT
For many years, when digital transformation is mentioned, many enterprises have typically envisioned purchasing software, building websites, deploying ERP systems, or applying artificial intelligence. However, looking at it through the lens of innovation, digital transformation is not merely a technological project; it is a process of continuous change that enables an enterprise to adapt to market fluctuations.
That is precisely why KisStartup has chosen "Digital Transformation" as the keyword for this week’s Spotlight.

KISSTARTUP SPOTLIGHT: DATA – THE UNTAPPED GOLDMINE FOR ENTERPRISES
Over the past few years, whenever digital transformation or artificial intelligence (AI) is brought up, we frequently hear stories about new software, advanced management platforms, or increasingly powerful data analytics tools.

There is a lesser-known truth: the majority of pitching sessions fail not because the ideas are bad, but because they lack evidence of learning. Investors do not buy blueprints; they fund disciplined learning. Lean Startup gives us the language and rhythm to transform fundraising into a true Build–Measure–Learn process: build a small step forward, measure it with "real-life" metrics, and learn to make the next-round decisions. When approaching capital this way, you are not "begging" for money; you are inviting investors to join an ongoing, progressive loop.

Effective internal innovation needs to start from providing each member of the organization with new, more important tools and knowledge than new thinking. With training experience for both businesses and startups, KisStartup supports corporations and businesses that want to promote innovation through capacity building for staff.

Building and Operating Incubators and Startup Support Centers for Localities and Academic Institutions.

After 04 events focusing on Big Data, AI, AR-VR, IoT in 2017, real connections between startups and enterprises were successfully formed to tackle their problem.With the participation of leading experts to answer questions related to the potential and trend of high technology and a strong support of specialized village at Techfest 2018 such as MedTech Village, AgriTech Village, Fintech Village, EdTech Village, Tourism Village, this year Hi-Tech Konec hopes to connect innovative startups with enterprises more closely and effectively.
