Intergalactic Inc. is a South Korean startup founded in 2022 by CEO Cho Young-tak. The company operates 'Locl', a platform for discovering and booking cultural and artistic hobby classes. Locl connects users with instructors across various fields, including music, dance, art, and crafts, offering over 200 categories of classes. The platform aims to make learning new skills more accessible and enjoyable.
For instructors and class providers, Intergalactic offers a business solution that helps manage class schedules, student progress, payments, and promotions. This management tool includes features like automated payment and settlement systems, AI-powered class description generation, and marketing support to improve online visibility on major portals like Naver and Google. The business model appears to be centered on the platform, likely taking a commission from class bookings and potentially offering premium services to instructors.
The company secured over 700 million KRW in funding within its first year and was selected for Google's ChangGoo Program, ranking 23rd in the top 100. Intergalactic has also established a partnership with Samick Musical Instruments to enhance its offerings. Based in Seoul, the company fosters a horizontal work culture and has a small, growing team.
