In this chapter, we introduce a project.
Talent Sharing Project
“Funding goal reached! I’m the Content Director Wadiz, and I’d like to share some feedback.”
This is a crowdfunding project made possible Wadiz. Why? Because it’s a special project created by Wadiz Content Director Choi Hong-hee—who regularly lectures at major corporations and tours various lecture platforms (his lectures are so captivating, they could easily be called performances!)—specifically for this crowdfunding campaign! He’s offering the know-how he’s accumulated over four years as a workaholic at a price you won’t find anywhere else.

This isn’t just “sharing” talent—it’s more like a “donation.” This project wasn’t launched to make money, but to serve as a reliable support system for business owners and creators who struggle with creating product detail pages. Thanks to the director who creates the best product detail pages in Korea, and the many business owners who are eager and passionate about their ventures, every project has been fully funded (reaching the funding goal for all limited quantities!) 🎉

“Drawing on my road trip experience, I’ll help you find your perfect beach.”
Maker Jeong Hwan-hee is a huge fan of the ocean. Because he loves the sea, he ran 2,985 km across Australia and New Zealand. This project draws on that experience and is designed for people who love the ocean but find it difficult to visit many different places due to their busy schedules. Jeong plans to visit 358 beaches in person to compile a list of their unique characteristics, including their pros and cons and who he recommends they’re best for. She will then compile this information into an e-book to share her knowledge and passion for the ocean with supporters. Instead of the well-known beaches like Haeundae and Gwangalli, discover your own hidden gems that don’t even show up in search results. Jeong Hwan-hee’s crowdfunding campaign is your perfect chance to discover these unique beaches!
To all you travel enthusiasts out there. As a travel buff myself, I really trust your recommendations when it comes to the ocean. / Source: What kind of ocean suits you best? Find Your Perfect Ocean with Ocean Planner 358
“Here’s a list of my favorite restaurants in Pangyo (from the team dinner organizer)!”
Kim Meok-jang, the team's "dark side" of company dinners, runs a place in Pangyo called Oh Tae-soo (Sells Only One Item). On my way to work, I always ask myself, “What should I eat today?” Even when I rack my brain, I end up going to the same places over and over—so this project is exactly what I need. As a food blogger with 100,000 followers, she has a solid list of restaurants for every occasion. Thank you for sharing this incredibly valuable list, which you compiled through your own hard work, with your fellow Pangyo office workers!

Neighborhood Assistance Project
“We’re launching a project to hold a nationwide dog audition!”
Jeju Island is home to idol trainees who are the very definition of cuteness—they’re sure to melt anyone’s heart. And the reason we can confidently call them cute is that they’re actually “dog” trainees.

He was scouted on the streets of Jeju and has undergone meticulous training at Ggul Entertainment. He’s now fully prepared to make his debut as the perfect companion dog. Ggul Entertainment, which has successfully launched 15 out of 18 dogs, is preparing a new project. They’re expanding from the island to the mainland with a nationwide companion dog audition project! To support this, the Wadiz Performance Marketing Team has launched a crowdfunding campaign.
The Performance Marketing Team will donate all the funds raised to Gule Entertainment, excluding the costs required to prepare the rewards. Thanks to this, Gule Entertainment will be holding a nationwide dog audition Wadizthe Wadizspace in Seongsu on November 19–20. With three trainees from Jeju waiting to debut and rescue dogs from all over the country gathering there, you won’t want to miss this event, right? And of course, I couldn’t resist the crowdfunding campaign either! (I backed the campaign for the rice cake memo pads that came with a grip case and a doggy scent 🐶)
“Let’s make sure the 53rd ROTC Class Reunion—the only one yet to be held—can take place nationwide!”
In 2018, a few classmates came together for the 53rd ROTC class—the only class in the entire ROTC program that didn’t have an alumni association. After work, they gathered in small groups and, through their hard work, the ROTC Class 53 Alumni Association was established. In the startup world, they say that companies go through the “Valley of Death” in their early stages. This refers to a state where the company’s very survival is at stake, and the ROTC Class 53 Alumni Association, now four years after its founding, is also navigating that phase. To successfully overcome this “Death Valley,” the president of the 53rd ROTC Alumni Association stepped up. Specifically, the Head of the Wadiz Team launched a crowdfunding campaign. (Head of theWadiz Ecosystem Investment Team = President of the 53rd ROTC Alumni Association!)
Pro is looking for people through crowdfunding who are willing to share their ideas on how to revitalize the 53rd Class Alumni Association and help grow it together. We hope that the association will be revitalized through the “power of connection.” I’ll be cheering you on so that the association can expand nationwide!

“We’re preparing flowers for every mom who needs a little encouragement.”
This project began one day when a mother, while struggling with her child, received a bouquet from a friend. We want to share that memory—a day filled with gratitude and happiness—with mothers around the world through this crowdfunding campaign to send floral gifts. As a creator, Jang Min-young drew on her own experience as a mother to craft a story about what mothers truly need. She explains that we need a great deal of understanding and support from both our families and society. The reason we feel warmth from an elderly man who gives up his seat on the subway or a friend who gives us a bouquet of flowers is that these acts are a form of support sent to “mothers.”
Now, Jang Min-young is stepping in as a grandfather and a friend to send bouquets of flowers to 25 moms as a token of support. We’ve raised the funds to send the flowers. Next, we need stories from the moms who will receive this support. In theis where you can find stories from all kinds of moms. It warms my heart to see so many people—both those receiving support and those offering it. It’s only natural to feel that urge to join in and cheer them on—my feet are tapping and my fingers are itching to get started!

In addition to the projects we’ve introduced, a variety of compelling crowdfunding campaigns by Wadiz are now live. That’s because crowdfunding can serve as a strong lifeline—whether you’re pursuing your dreams, helping a neighbor in need, or creating memories with a loved one. Anyone can launch a project as long as they have a valid reason to seek support, whether it’s for self-realization or creating social value. You don’t need a business registration number, and you don’t even need to create a new product. We hope the stories of our employees taking the lead to “become makers” have given you the courage to take on a challenge!
Next, let’s hear about their project progress from Pro, the recipient of the prestigious Outstanding Funding Award for receiving the most support, and Pro, the recipient of the Special Award for Most Signatures.
See you soon!
