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.
