About us
At Think Creative, we develop innovative products, services, and brand extensions to help businesses increase sustainable top-line growth. Growth Opportunity Detection: We employ unique consumer insight strategies to gather an in-depth understanding of their needs and desires. By analyzing the market’s ability to satisfy those demands (including our clients’), we identify attractive market gaps prime for capitalization. Brand Extension/New Business: New revenue opportunities often lie in market categories adjacent to your core business. We help you seize them, generating a business model that’s profitable and practical, which your company is already prepared to execute. New Product and Services: We develop unique solutions to capitalize on market gaps. We explore every option, from adding features to your current products and services to expanding your portfolio with new ones. With a growth direction chosen, our creative and design teams create the product or service, while our market and finance teams check its economic feasibility. Branding and Packaging: Even the best products still need great branding and packaging design to compete. After developing the product’s branding and packaging design guidelines, we call in the design hot shots from our sister company Imagemme. Innovation Seeding: You don’t want to hire consultants every time you want to update your products and services. We can help you keep this work in-house by transferring our innovation skills to your team, and then creating processes tailored to your organizational structure.

🚀 Exciting Update from the 2024 KSC Scale Up Showcase Event! I'm excited to share highlights from this year’s KSC Scale Up Showcase event, hosted by Marvin Segel featuring fifteen outstanding startups presenting their ventures. We had the honor of partnering with KISED (Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development), Korea International Trade Association(KITA) and Seoul Creative Economy Innovation Center (SCCEI). Here are the key takeaways: We successfully reimagined our showcase format, transforming it into a dynamic, conversation-driven experience. This setup challenged our founders to articulate their value propositions and insights clearly, engaging with a diverse audience in a more interactive and personal way. By moving beyond traditional pitches, each founder connected directly with attendees, addressing real-time questions and feedback, showcasing the unique strengths and adaptability of their solutions. A special thanks to Think Creative’s founder, FERMIN EZQUER-MATALLANA, and Program Director & Discovery Mentor, Thevi Chrzanowski, and Growth Mentor, Joe Rizzo, for their leadership. Another special thank you to George Fandos & John-Luke Laube. This also would not have been possible without Pharus, Crowell & Moring, and DOOR3, and their expertise in sales, branding, finance, legal, and technology product development. Thanks also to all our mentors and industry experts. Over the past three months, we've worked closely with these startups, guiding them as they prepare to scale in the U.S. market. This year’s cohort represents a range of impactful industries, including creator economy, dental-tech, legal-tech, food-tech, ag-tech, green-tech, fintech, generative AI technologies, and more. Let’s recognize the exceptional startups in this year’s program: adoba, ARGOS Identity, 베링랩 (Bering Lab) Cybersweet, DAEJIN ADVANCED MATERIALS USA INC, dob Studio Inc., EverEx, Fliption, DentLink (Innovaid Co.), Inventis, MR.PAPA, Muska, Perfitt, YOAT Co., Ltd., and UNLIMEAT! It has been a privilege to work with these founders, supporting their journey into the U.S. market. Here’s to continued growth and innovation ahead! #Innovation #KoreanStartups #KSCAccelerator #NYC #Startups #DigitalTransformation #TechRevolution #ThinkCreative

One of the countless advantages of running a startup accelerator in the heart of New York City – like our KSC Accelerator – is the unparalleled access to endless business opportunities around every corner! 🌆💼 UNLIMEAT has been capitalizing on this firsthand by visiting retail stores and food service providers across the 5 boroughs (focusing on Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens), showcasing their innovative products. The feedback has been invaluable, and they’re already making impactful first impressions on potential clients and customers! 🚀📊 #Innovation #KoreanStartups #KSCAccelerator #NYC #Startups #DigitalTransformation #TechRevolution #ThinkCreative #Vegan #PlantBased #Vegetarian #PlantBasedMeat
