Yoon Kim recently won the G60 Pitch Contest, an entrepreneurial idea competition put on by Startup Junkie, for his idea to produce Infographics Summary Posters.
Kim was inspired by a how-to poster on infant care. It occurred to him that the infographic the poster showed could provide parents, at a glance, with information that otherwise might have required them to read a number of parenting books and magazines.
Immediately, his mind began running with ideas for potentially helpful infographics posters.
“Imagine if I was a bike mechanic. Wouldn’t it be cool if I had a poster with all the bike parts and what they do, all in one place?” Kim said.
His next project is to create and sell a poster summarizing the Northwest Arkansas startup scene, as he thinks there is some ambiguity as to the amount of potential there is in the area — especially in certain industries — for entrepreneurs.
The service is also available to businesses and individuals who want to create posters with their own information.
Kim has hired Zack Brown, a recent John Brown University graduate, to design the infographics.
A journalist by trade, Kim runs a business called Blogs for Brands LLC, which connects freelance writers from throughout the world to opportunities for writing blogs or other materials for various companies.
