Description

Taejun Shin, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Gojo & Company


Taejun Shin holds a black belt in karate, a 6th dan in Go, has run a 1,648 km ultra-marathon - and built a company that now serves over 2.4 million clients across five countries.


But here’s what sets him apart: Taejun is stateless. He doesn’t hold a passport.


And yet, he founded Gojo & Company - a startup working to become the private sector’s version of the World Bank.


In his deeply touching talk, ‘Building for Global Financial Inclusion Without Even a Passport,’ Taejun shares how personal hardship, family sacrifice, and a deep belief in equality of opportunity led him to build for those most often left behind.
