🌟 About Picky

We bring Real Korea to the World by connecting K-beauty brands with our community of content creators.
Founded in 2020, Picky began as a skincare review community for K-beauty fans worldwide. Today, we've grown into the largest influencer marketing platform for K-beauty brands, delivering scalable, high-impact content through a global pool of beauty and skincare creators.
With backing from leading VCs and angel investors from Silicon Valley, Finland, Singapore and Korea—our latest seed round was $1.3M in early 2021—Picky is a growing startup looking to make a lasting global impact.
