Chris Cho
Founder and CEO in South Korea
Hi, I’m Chris Cho (조한울) — an AI Commerce Entrepreneur based in South Korea.
I’m the Founder & CEO of Rhyzome (also known as Rhyzome Corporation and Rhyzome Fishing), a D2C e-commerce company specializing in premium handcrafted sea fishing rods. Since 2020, I’ve built Rhyzome into Korea’s #1 online sea fishing rod brand with ~$2.3M in annual revenue — fully automated through AI. I also run HOYO, Rhyzome’s dedicated operational and logistics subsidiary.
I believe AI isn’t just a tool — it’s how modern businesses should be run.
Before entrepreneurship, I was on the Equity Desk at Tullett Prebon, Hong Kong. BEc in International Economics & Trade, SUFE (Full Scholarship).
Open to connecting with entrepreneurs, e-commerce professionals, and anyone building with AI.
