Business Bridge for VC-backed Startups
We work closely with our global VC industry networks to provide customized solutions for VC-backed startups to boost their worldwide expansion and success.
Investment Bridge for Venture Capital and Strategic Investor
We source deals that fit VC funds' investment goals and provide pre- and post-investment services for inbound and outbound VCs and strategic investors.
Customized Solutions for non-Korean Venture Capital
We support deal sourcing and fundraising for foreign (non-Korean) VC funds.
Deal-sourcing
We source deals from our VC industry network in Korea to offer co-investment opportunities with Korean VCs for Seeds, Series A, B, and pre-IPO.
Cross-border investments create synergy and add value to VC funds by enhancing startups' global expansion and exit opportunities.
Fundraising from Korean LPs
A successful track record in the Korean VC market can open doors to Korean institutional and strategic LPs, resulting in more investment opportunities and the potential to become a global leader.
Our services include providing all necessary information about the Korean VC ecosystem and offering tailored support to help obtain funds from Korean LPs.
Branch and Liaison Office
We provide branch or liaison office services for international venture capitalists who want to explore investment and fundraising opportunities in Korea. We aim to minimize financial risks while maximizing investment returns.
Our team comprises experienced VC professionals with vast networks in the local market. This enables us to offer customized services tailored to our client's needs.
Customized Solutions for non-Korean LPs
We support the entry of foreign limited partners to Korean VC funds. Over 400 VC funds are launched annually in Korea, with over half sponsored by the Korea Fund of Funds (KFoF).
We offer foreign investors the chance to invest in Korean VC funds sponsored and pre-reviewed by the KFoF and institutional anchors.
