What Remember & Company does

Remember & Company (formerly Drama & Company until the October 2024 rebrand) is South Korea's leading professional networking platform, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Seoul's Posco Tower Yeoksam building. The company operates a mobile-first platform serving Korean working professionals, originally built around smartphone-based business card digitization and evolved into a comprehensive professional network spanning the full career lifecycle — from entry-level through executive. Core products include the Remember app (business card management), HR Network Service (corporate recruitment), Headhunting Service (executive search), Expert Network Service (industry insights and 1:1 advisory), Community (job-role/interest groups), Team Business Card (corporate subscription), Gift Service (B2B gift marketplace), and Premium Recruitment Posting. The company has scaled through both organic product launches and an active M&A program, having acquired expert network firm Ianson & Company (April 2022), entry-level platforms Jasoseol.com and Superrouki (July 2022), executive search firm Briskcan Young (February 2023), and taking a minority stake in headhunting firm Unico Search (September 2023). A Japan subsidiary was established in May 2018.

Core offering

Remember & Company operates a mobile-first professional networking platform (the Remember App) for Korean professionals, evolving from a business card management tool into Korea's leading career networking service. The company sells HR Network Service subscriptions and headhunting placement fees to corporate employers seeking mid-to-senior talent, while monetizing its professional user base through premium targeted advertising, gift marketplace transactions, and team business card subscriptions.

Product overview

Remember & Company operates a unified professional network service platform (프로페셔널 네트워크 서비스) for Korean professionals. The core offering is the Remember App, which began as a business card management solution ('国民 명함앱') and expanded into a comprehensive career networking platform. The platform comprises multiple integrated services: HR Network Service (채용솔루션) and Headhunting Service for recruitment solutions; Expert Network Service and Research Service for expert consultation; Business Card Management (명함관리), Community (커뮤니티), and Gift Service (선물하기) for networking and relationship management; and Team Business Card (팀명함첩) for corporate users. Premium Recruitment Posting Service provides targeted job advertising. Through acquisitions, the company has expanded into fresh graduate recruitment (Jasoseol.com, SuperRookie), executive search (Briskcan HR, Unico Search), and expert networking (Ianson & Company).

Direct peers

• Wantedly: Japanese professional networking and recruitment platform. Closest peer in the Japanese market, which is also Remember's only international market; comparable business model combining networking with recruitment solutions.
• Eight (Sansan): Japanese business card digitization and professional networking app operated by Sansan. Highly comparable to Remember's original product (national business card app) and current Team Business Card offering, with parallel evolution into broader professional networking.
• LinkedIn: Microsoft-owned global professional networking platform and the most direct comparable to Remember's core business. LinkedIn is explicitly identified as Remember's primary competitor in the Korean market, and Remember is positioned as the 'Korean equivalent of LinkedIn'.
• Wanted: Korean tech-focused job platform serving developers and tech talent. Directly competes with Remember's HR Network Service for the same Korean mid-to-senior professional recruitment market, particularly in the technology vertical.
• Jobkorea: Established Korean job board and recruitment platform. Competes directly with Remember's recruitment solutions for Korean corporate employers and mid-career professionals.
• GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group): Global leader in expert network services. Most directly comparable to Remember's Expert Network Service business, which connects enterprises with industry professionals for 1:1 interviews and surveys.
• Saramin: One of Korea's largest online job boards and recruitment platforms. Direct competitor in Korean enterprise recruitment, and notably also a current minority shareholder of Remember & Company whose stake EQT is negotiating to acquire.
• Maimai: China's leading professional networking platform with similar positioning to LinkedIn. Comparable business model focused on localized professional networking and recruitment in the Chinese market.

Emerging players

• Jumpit: Korean developer-focused job platform with strong growth trajectory. Emerging competitor in the Korean tech recruitment segment where Remember's HR Network Service also operates.

Regional players

• Bizreach: Japanese headhunting and executive recruitment platform. Comparable to Remember's headhunting services and BriskcanYoung subsidiary, though operating in the Japanese market rather than competing directly in Korea.
