Investment approach
- Thesis
- We are stage agnostic: We invest in stage-independent technology companies mainly in Korea, across the following areas. Tech (AI, bio, defense, cleantech & etc.) Culture (contents, IP & etc.) We ascend together: From the moment we invest in our portfolio companies, we fully commit to being a long-term partner with founders, together embracing the tremendous challenges and changes to come down the road. We join them on their endeavors, actively providing our full support for business development, fundraising, and networking. We are uniquely positioned to enable portfolio companies to connect and engage with potential business partners particularly for global business expansion. Respect and empathy for founders: We understand what it is like for founders to strive to achieve extremely difficult or unprecedented objectives. In lockstep, we sincerely seek to do our part as partners and provide our full support to founders throughout their journey.Source (opens in a new tab)
