Meet The Sun’s 2026 Client Roster: New Partners Signed Through Q3

NEWSHeeseung Lee · 20 years in PR

Tech PR agency Meet The Sun welcomed 8 new clients through the third quarter of 2026 — and half of them are global companies headquartered outside Korea.

The year isn’t over yet, but through Q3, Meet The Sun has already brought on 8 new clients. That works out to roughly one new account every month over nine months. What’s more, half of those clients are companies based abroad — a direct reflection of how much of Meet The Sun’s work now involves helping global tech companies enter the Korean market.

The new clients span the full breadth of the tech sector. Two are organizations that support startup creation and growth — a venture capital firm and a venture studio. Two operate in deep tech, including quantum computing. Three are in payments and financial infrastructure. And one is a blockchain analytics company.

Why Client Portfolio Matters for a Tech and Startup PR Agency

A PR agency’s portfolio isn’t just a list of names — it’s the first thing prospective clients look at when deciding whether to trust an agency. For firms that specialize in tech and startups, a strong portfolio carries even more weight. Companies evaluating agencies want to know whether the agency has worked with businesses at a similar stage and in a similar industry. Who you’ve worked with directly shapes who reaches out next.

When an agency handles multiple clients within the same ecosystem, its industry knowledge and media relationships compound over time. Reporter contacts who cover that space, insight into what investors care about, familiarity with the regulatory landscape — all of it carries over from one engagement to the next. Clients with leading-edge technology or strong growth trajectories also expand the range of stories an agency is equipped to tell.

The clients Meet The Sun welcomed in 2026 reflect exactly that kind of meaningful portfolio growth.

What Makes Venture Capital and Venture Studio PR Different?

Venture capital PR and venture studio PR require more than promoting a single company. They demand a genuine understanding of investment philosophy and the ability to communicate on behalf of an entire portfolio ecosystem.

PR for investors and venture studios operates differently from standard corporate communications. Above all, it requires a deep grasp of the startup ecosystem — and the ability to articulate a client’s investment thesis and industry perspective with precision. It also means staying informed about the portfolio companies of those investors and studios.

One of Meet The Sun’s new venture-side clients this year is one of America’s most prominent venture capital firms. Managing approximately $100 billion in assets, the firm has been instrumental in shaping the direction of global tech. It is establishing an Asian base in Korea, with plans to support its portfolio companies entering the Korean market and to engage with Korea’s broader startup ecosystem.

The other is MintVenture Partners, a biohealth-focused venture studio founded in 2020. MintVenture Partners takes technologies sourced from universities and hospitals and builds companies directly around them, providing business development, investment, and talent acquisition support along the way. To date, it has founded 4 startups, invested in 17 domestic and 10 international companies, and has facilitated 3 KOSDAQ listings and 1 NASDAQ listing.

What Does Deep Tech PR Actually Require?

The core challenge in deep tech PR is developing a thorough understanding of complex technology — and then translating it into language that both trade publications and general-interest media can each make sense of. Without genuine technical comprehension, it’s nearly impossible to write even a single accurate line of a press release.

Quandela is a photonic quantum computing company founded in France in 2017. It develops quantum computers using photons — particles of light — and operates a full-stack model in which it builds everything in-house: QPUs (quantum processing units), hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure. The company is pursuing real-world industrial applications through hybrid computing that bridges conventional CPUs and GPUs with quantum systems. To date, it has deployed 4 quantum computers and is co-developing use cases with 15 enterprise customers. Meet The Sun supported Quandela’s press conference in Korea and arranged media interviews with its CEO.

Mobiltech is a spatial intelligence infrastructure company providing an integrated suite of capabilities for commercializing physical AI — including data collection, multi-sensor calibration, and digital twin simulation for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and related fields.

The company has raised approximately KRW 42.1 billion in cumulative funding including its pre-IPO round and is preparing for an IPO.

Why Trust Is Everything in Fintech and Blockchain PR

In fintech PR and blockchain PR, building industry credibility while proactively monitoring the regulatory environment, and proactively raising relevant issues are essential. For companies dealing with payments, financial infrastructure, and digital assets, trust is a prerequisite for doing business.

Beyond Korean Market Entry: Becoming a Partner for Global Expansion

Meet The Sun has spent years helping global tech companies navigate the Korean market. Now, it’s building on that experience to become a communications partner for Korean companies expanding internationally.

Meet The Sun has established relationships not only with Korea’s leading domestic outlets, but also with global business media — Bloomberg, the Financial Times, and Nikkei Asia — as well as tech and startup-focused publications including TechCrunch and Tech in Asia. The goal is to leverage the experience and network built through supporting global companies’ Korean market entry, and turn that into a platform for helping Korean companies tell their stories to the world.
