WeeklyVentures builds in one week what others plan for months. We thrive on curiosity, embrace simplicity, and put execution first. Our mission is to reclaim the raw thrill of entrepreneurship—before spreadsheets and pitch decks take over.
Founder Story
WeeklyVentures was founded by serial entrepreneur Sangmin Lee, who spent 4.5 years as Asia Investment Director at AM Ventures, a German VC firm, before diving back into entrepreneurship.
Sangmin launched his first business in college—a specialized e-commerce platform for soccer cleats—which he ran for 3 years before successfully exiting. He then founded Hi-Globe, Korea's first solar energy subscription service. In 2024, he started WeeklyVentures as a serial entrepreneurship platform focused on rapid prototyping and market validation.
Track Record
In the first year, we developed 20+ products. SoulCanvas, a story-based AI art generation mobile app focused on emotional wellness, was our first spin-off and was successfully acquired by a US company in April 2025.
Our second spin-off, Patenty.ai, is an AI-powered patent solution actively helping patent attorneys reduce repetitive tasks and work more effectively.
New Movement: WeeklyLab
To share our serial entrepreneurship approach with more people, we recently launched WeeklyLab—a platform where users can freely share ideas, collaborate, and co-create products for launch.
Why Now?
With AI coding tools dramatically reducing development costs and time, 2024-2025 is the perfect era for startup experimentation. Technical difficulty matters less than solving real market needs. Timing is critical, and execution speed is the new competitive advantage.
Our Philosophy:
Action beats analysis. Execution over calculation. Courage over perfect preparation. Readiness is mental—goals exist to spark the first step. Every project teaches, and even stops are education, not embarrassment.
Overthinking stalls progress. We choose real-world learning over theory, and fast failures over slow debates. Each setback plants seeds for growth.
Our equation is simple: Survival + Fun + Meaning = Lasting Passion. We respect financial realities but insist work should bring joy and purpose.
WeeklyVentures is for builders who believe doing beats talking.
