About

I’m Younghoon Jacob Park, ex-Product Lead at a $2.6B unicorn startup and ex-global corn trader at global trading company, with deep interest in African markets. Specialized in product-led growth, particularly within Agri-tech, B2B SaaS, and Data Intelligence services. Passionate about sharing hard-earned lessons from my zero-to-one experiences. I can’t share how to succeed, but I can share how to avoid common failures. I firmly believe success often involves luck and requires unique strategies tailored to each situation, whereas failures typically arise from similar pitfalls.

Mentorship motivation

  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

My motivation for mentorship stems from my deep passion for fostering vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems, particularly in Africa. While I was working in supply chain optimization project in Rwanda, I got my missional goal to contribute to activate African business ecosystem. After a decade of fast-growth and global business experience I have, now I want to be more active in sharing what I got. And besides the above, I genuinely love to solve problems. I feel fulfillment whenever I see problems fixed either mine or others. I’d happy to share my brain to solve the complex problems.
