Start a conversation01 / Our role
Early-stage deep tech organizations often need strategic planning before they have an in-house team to handle it. 401SPAG is a boutique strategy consulting firm that takes on this work as an external strategy function.
Our outsourced chief strategy officer (CSO) service covers market analysis, fundraising plans, market-entry strategy, and internal operating strategy. We also work with companies, public institutions, and associations evaluating new technologies and markets.

02 / Expertise
From an ongoing strategy function to a defined market-entry or technology planning project.
We take on the strategic planning work an early-stage organization does not yet have the internal capacity to manage. This includes assessing markets, planning fundraising, defining market-entry priorities, and developing internal operating strategy.
We support companies entering Korea or expanding into overseas markets. We combine market analysis and entry planning with government relations, helping organizations understand the institutional landscape and engage relevant public bodies.
We help governments, public institutions, and associations assess emerging technologies and sectors. Market and industry analysis informs strategic priorities, development plans, and decisions about where to direct resources.
We work with companies exploring a new technology or business area. We assess its relevance to the existing business and develop a strategy for adoption, integration, and future growth.
