JOURNEY

From a Mongolian student's notebook to a launch on 09.01.2026.

Korico started as Anu's personal notes while repeatedly renewing her own D-2 visa, registering with immigration, opening bank accounts, and reporting taxes — the same admin every international student faces. After mapping hundreds of repeated questions, we set out to build the shared brain we wish we had on day one.

2024

The idea

Anu — Mongolian-born, Kookmin University SW senior — ran a university PBL project on foreigner admin accessibility. User research and regulatory analysis on 행정사·변호사·개인정보보호법 mapped the legal boundaries Korico could safely operate within.

2025

Team & recognition

Co-founders Geonu, Junseok, Yeonju and Weronika joined. The team placed 2nd at the Sogang Agentic AI hackathon, joined Google for Startups Silkway Accelerator, and shipped early visa Q&A prototypes to small beta groups.
