Y&Archer supports sports startups at Try Everything 2026
Y&Archer recently supported several sports-focused startups participating in the ‘Try Everything 2026’ event held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul. The initiative is part of the ‘2026 Sports Professional Job Stability (Startup Support) Project,’ hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and managed by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation.
Three specific companies—Tuntun, Aimers, and Nine Nine Sports Lab—operated exhibition booths to introduce their business models to investors and industry professionals. Tuntun presented youth soccer talent discovery and education services, Aimers showcased an AI-based personalized feedback platform for archery, and Nine Nine Sports Lab introduced K-Nordic ski boot manufacturing and distribution.
In addition to the exhibition, Y&Archer organized a ‘Family Day’ for participating companies. This program included expert lectures, one-on-one meetups, and networking sessions designed to help entrepreneurs share operational experiences and explore collaborative opportunities. Y&Archer plans to continue providing support through IR material refinement and follow-up meetings to facilitate investment and market expansion for these sports startups.
