    About SK Planet, Inc.:
    SK Planet is a globally recognized and respected leader in innovative mobile solutions. As part of the 3rd largest conglomerate in Korea, we operate many of the country’s most successful businesses, including the leading N-Screen video service (Hoppin), the largest app store (T-Store), and the most popular virtual shopping service (11 St).

    We are now looking to achieve success beyond the Korean market by leveraging our considerable assets and expertise to establish a significant US presence. Our first step has been to set up a dynamic new company in San Francisco unlike typical venture-backed startups in the valley that are burdened with uncertain funding and limited in their scope of activities. With the committed, long-term support of a billion dollar plus parent company, our “startup” is armed with the resources necessary to pursue multiple product categories and address large scale market needs.

    Our primary focus is to create mobile content and services that drive everyday consumer commerce. Our first such app, called Styletag, allows users to tag thousands of shared images of fashion items that lead to discovery and procurement. Ultimately, we plan to leverage the platform components of Styletag to build more products similarly integrated with e-commerce but focused on different verticals beyond fashion. In addition, we will also design and develop mobile apps that are linked to offline, ‘brick and mortar’ commerce. Ultimately, we aim to transform today’s common online/offline shopping processes into seamless, integrated mobile experiences where consumers continually find, acquire, and enjoy goods with minimal thought or effort.

    Beyond pursuing our commerce-centric product strategy, we have also assembled a proven team of product developers who are focused on two areas related to the innovative world of mobile games – interactive entertainment (IE) and game based learning (GBL). For IE, our team is pursuing a product mash-up strategy aimed at creating new and disruptive categories in mobile entertainment. For GBL, we are designing products that will help assess and improve the academic performance of K-6 students in creatively fun and engaging ways.

    Our goal is to improve people’s lives by infusing joy and simplicity in the otherwise uninspired daily experiences that normally fill our days, such as shopping for clothes, texting, or doing homework. Join us now in creating transformative products and share our vision of Inspiring Everyone on the Planet!

    Working at SK Planet, Inc.:
    Our US operations are still in start-up mode but growing rapidly. We have an open and collaborative office based in San Francisco’s SOMA district, just 2 blocks from both the CalTrain and AT&T Park. We promote a very open and entrepreneurial environment that allows for new ideas and great motivation.
