STARTDB: making Korean company research easier to evaluate

STARTDB: making Korean company research easier to evaluateDisclosure: I operate STARTDB. This product introduction was prepared with AI assistance using our public product pages. The screenshots below are from the official site, captured on November 2, 2026; they are not customer results or proof of a completed API integration.The problem I want to discussA company list can look useful while still being a poor basis for a decision. A regional supplier search, an industry comparison, and a product-market research brief need different filters and different evidence. Before collecting more rows, it helps to write the decision the list is supposed to support and the information it cannot establish.What STARTDB currently describesSTARTDB is a Korean business-data platform. Our public guide describes company, region, and industry search, while the developer documentation covers REST API and MCP access. Export availability, database scope, and API access depend on the applicable plan and credits. This is a product overview, not a promise that every dataset contains every field or that every plan supports the same workflow.Official STARTDB homepage. Product positioning, not an independent performance claim.Official search guide. Check the fields and scope available for your intended query.Official data center. Counts and availability are self-reported and may change.Official REST API and MCP documentation page. No paid API call was made for this post.A practical research workflowStart with one bounded question, such as which regions deserve further supplier research. Record the search scope and date, then inspect the fields available in the relevant database. Keep facts returned by a source separate from a team’s interpretation. A candidate appearing in a list does not establish purchasing intent, operational suitability, or permission to contact it.Important limitsThe Search Studio, folder-based datasets, and custom dataset-composition experience shown as coming soon are not presented here as released features. Newly collected records are not necessarily newly opened businesses. Data-center counts describe the service’s own collection, not a complete census or a guarantee of accuracy. Some listed categories currently have no records, so check the current coverage rather than assuming every category is ready.Feedback I would valueFor makers who evaluate external business data: what information do you need before deciding a dataset is useful enough to integrate? Is source provenance, collection time, a clear missing-field description, or a representative sample most important in your workflow? I would be interested in specific cases where a technically correct dataset was still unsuitable for the decision you needed to make.Product and current documentation: startdb.kr · Developer guide · Plans and access conditions.

A lot of early stage founders feel invisible. You re shipping, fixing bugs, talking to users but when it s time to raise, investors mostly see a deck and a short call. With OMISP, we want your track record to do more of the talking. OMISP is the credit score and live radar for founders it tracks your real world progress so investors can spot future unicorns before they re obvious. Instead of: Cold emailing 200 VCs Rewriting your story every month You: Build the thing Log the milestones Let your OMISP score and timeline make your progress visible Your progress becomes your pitch. Your track record becomes your edge. If you re a founder, drop your latest win in the comments (even if it s small).

Moving beyond the "constant connection" trap

We live in a digital era where most relationship tools are designed to maximize screen time, often turning intimacy into a task of constant status updates and notifications. I have been thinking deeply about why this cycle of "noisy" communication leads to burnout rather than closeness. I am currently working on Tether, a relationship sanctuary designed to challenge that status quo. Instead of chasing engagement metrics, our focus is on emotional depth and intentionality. We are building a space that respects boundaries, prioritizing quality interactions over the pressure of being available 24/7. Right now, we are deep into our backend architecture. My focus as a product manager has been ensuring that the foundation is stable, private, and high-performance creating the infrastructure necessary to support the meaningful, low-stress experiences we want to bring to busy couples. Building this has been a masterclass in balancing complex technical execution with a clear, human-centric vision. I believe that technology should support our relationships, not compete with them, and that is exactly what we are proving with every sprint. If you are interested in our progress or our philosophy on digital intimacy, you can follow our journey here: https://tether-waitlist-land-rpk... I am always looking to connect with others thinking about the intersection of product design and human behavior let s discuss.

Building thinqspace, one place to run your whole client workflow.

If you freelance or run an agency, you know the mess: leads coming in from DMs, referrals, and random platforms, proposals in Google Docs, projects in Notion or Trello, follow-ups sitting in your head until they're late. Five tools that don't talk to each other and things quietly slip through.

thinqspace pulls it into one flow, bring in leads (add manually or import from a spreadsheet), keep them in a pipeline so nothing goes cold, send proposals without switching apps and turn a won deal straight into a trackable project.

Still early and building in the open. If you try it, I genuinely want to hear what's missing or what feels off blunt feedback is the most useful kind.
