Younghoon Jacob Park

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.

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.
