Liahnson & Company

Liahnson & Company is an expert network headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. Former managers at Capvision and GLG started Liahnson in 2015. The name is a combination of the three founders' last names: Li, Ahn, and Son.

Liahnson offers both expert network services and more extensive market research, including phone consultations, written consultations, in-person meetings, and custom research reports. The company focuses on experts in Southeast Asia from offices in Korea, Japan, and China, and is preparing to expand further into Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Liahnson says it has received the Korea Venture Technology Certification for its continuous R&D investment, and has been designated a supported enterprise by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

In April 2022, Liahnson was acquired by Drama & Company, the company behind Remember, a Korean "business card scanning app" and rival to LinkedIn. The acquisition was said to boost cross-selling of experts, interviews, and surveys. Liahnson now says it connects clients with more than 5 million professionals through this integration with the Remember platform.

Remember has 3.5 million subscribers in Korea, and 1 million in Japan, with more than 400 million scanned business cards to date. More than 2 million job proposals were sent on Remember in the six months of Q4 2021 and Q1 2022.

This acquisition came after Drama & Company was largely acquired (70%) by private equity fund Arc & Partners and the recruitment platform Saramin HR. In the deal, Drama & Company was valued at 230 Bn won, equal to ~$180m at the time.
