Investment thesis

Kakao Ventures positions itself as more than a purely financial investor, acting as a steadfast partner ('co-pilot') to the startups in its portfolio. It focuses on the strong, undeniable potential of innovators tackling the hardest problems, rather than the reasons a venture might fail. The firm brings together specialist investment professionals in deep tech, services, digital healthcare, and gaming, offering experience and know-how so founders can concentrate on growth. It emphasizes standing beside its 'family' companies in good times and bad, using the best interest of the startup as its guiding decision criterion.
