BrickMate Group is a global IT development and software outsourcing agency with its headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, and a significant build center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The company was founded by serial entrepreneurs with previous startup exit experience, embedding a 'startup DNA' into its operational model. Key figures include Minwook Kim as the Representative Director, Jon Oh as the Group CEO, and Junho Seo as the CEO of BrickMate Vietnam.
The firm specializes in agile software development, positioning itself as a strategic partner for startups and enterprises rather than a passive development agency. Its client base ranges from startups to major corporations like Samsung, LG, and Kyobo. BrickMate's core services include custom web and mobile app development, UI/UX design, e-commerce solutions, and dedicated team setups. The company has expertise across a wide technology stack, including front-end (like ReactJS, VueJS), back-end (like Python, NodeJS), mobile (native and cross-platform), and cloud/DevOps services using AWS, GCP, and Azure. A key service offering is the 'Annual Partnership' model, which provides clients with the benefits of an in-house development team at a reduced cost.
BrickMate also ventures into building its own products, such as an AI-based Adtech service. The company plays an active role in the startup investment ecosystem, connecting some of its client projects with affiliated VCs and accelerators. In October 2023, Viet Long Capital signed a letter of intent to invest up to $5 million in BrickMate, highlighting the firm's growth potential and its plans to expand into AI, cloud computing, and online gaming, with intentions of an IPO in South Korea and the United States.
