A Fiery Challenge and a Victory Message from Daejeon
Hello, this is the marketer at techniflows! Today, I’m excited to share some truly meaningful and happy news for our team. On December 23, 2025, at the Daejeon Intercity Hotel, techniflows proudly won the Grand Prize at the “2025 DDU Startup Idea Competition”!
Hosted by Daeduk University and co-organized by the Ministry of Education and Daejeon Metropolitan City, this competition brought together people with a passion for entrepreneurship to pitch and compete with their startup ideas. Contrary to the cold December weather, the Sapphire Hall—the main venue—was filled with the intense enthusiasm of all the participants. Being able to showcase VideoMasker, which embodies our vision, in such a meaningful setting had us excited long before the event even began.
A Solution for the Era of Solo Creators, VideoMasker
For this competition, we focused on the rapidly growing content market. As you can see from our presentation materials, with around 700 million videos uploaded every single day worldwide and an explosive increase in solo media creators, a solution that can drive and support the video content ecosystem is needed now more than ever.
Through VideoMasker, we announced our ambition to solve the privacy issues and editing hassles that creators face, and to build a safer and more creative content environment. The moment we stood in front of the judges to emphasize the market opportunity we had analyzed and the necessity of our technology was nerve-racking yet thrilling. Fortunately, the judges deeply resonated with our problem definition and proposed solution, which ultimately led us to the valuable achievement of winning the Grand Prize! 🎉
More Than an Award: Growth and Insights
While we’re of course delighted to receive the award, the real takeaway from this competition lies elsewhere. The sharp yet warm feedback from the expert judges we met on-site became a clear milestone for taking VideoMasker to the next level.
It was an invaluable opportunity to rethink not only the technical aspects, but also our concrete go-to-market strategies.
We were also greatly inspired by the brilliant ideas of university students and local youth who are sincerely devoted to entrepreneurship. Watching aspiring founders from diverse fields wrestle passionately with their ideas reminded us at techniflows to stay true to our roots and keep pushing forward with even greater diligence.
Using this award as a stepping stone, techniflows will keep moving forward without stopping. We’ll work hard to provide you with an even more innovative and useful VideoMasker service, and to live up to the support and expectations you’ve given us. Please stay tuned for what’s ahead from techniflows! ✨
