Ahiku Corp.

Ahiku Development Room (Developers Included)

Today, January 13th 2012, I had the pleasure of meeting Ahiku (아이쿠) at their office near Hong-ik University.

Ahiku is a 14-person Korean software developer and service provider. I met mostly with Ahiku COO Ms. Is Koo (구환희). Ms. Koo, as a co-founder of Ahiku, has been with the company from its start about 2 years ago. Here is the company's website: http://ahiku.com/

I talked to her and the Ahiku CEO primarily about their new app, Recood. Recood is being marketed as 'Instagram for videos'. Users can create free accounts and post 10 second videos of themselves. These videos can then be altered with certain lens and sound effects. Recood will also offer some 'fremium' content in the way of new video lenses, and also premium user accounts.

The Recood app was released last month, and already has a number of users in places like Japan and the U.S. Ahiku has put a lot of emphasis on the U.S. market with this app, and they will be taking the next step to try to increase their presence abroad. They have already received an investment from a Silicon Valley based Angel Investor, but now they are seeking to both connect with their U.S. users and and gain more connections in the U.S. IT/VC fields.
