[Korean Founders, Going India] "You look so young. CEO of EduSync, Gawon Kwon
Then she just shows the numbers. Revenue and capital raised.
You look so young.
She hears it in almost every meeting.
When someone brings up her age, she doesn't say a word, she just shows the numbers. Revenue and capital raised
At 23, Ga-won Kwon started EduSync. Three months later she shipped her first product. Two months after that, she raised her first round of funding.
But the product didn't start with a pitch. It started in classrooms.
Before she started EduSync, she spent months sitting with teachers, watching how they actually ran a class.
She asked a lot of them the same question: what's broken?
What she found was a gap nobody had filled.
Schools had the hardware, the smart boards, the tablets, but no software tying it together. The teacher's screen, the board, and every student's tablet all lived separately
So she connected them.
What the teacher writes shows up on each student's screen. What a student writes flows back to the board. The whole school day runs through one system.
Teachers noticed the small things first.
One said the best part was not having to carry a USB drive around anymore. Another liked being able to see, at a glance, which students were actually connected.
At 24, that approach has paid off.
Three schools signed on. A national broadcaster hired her to build a safety alert system. She filed a patent, and lined up her first export deals in Vietnam and Central Asia
Now sheโs bringing EduSync to India next.
