Investment thesis

Samsung Next invests in founders pursuing ambitious and unconventional technology ventures. It focuses on a few broad areas: artificial intelligence, backing teams building groundbreaking AI or applying AI to novel enterprise, consumer, and industrial use cases; health, supporting software, hardware and services that improve outcomes and lower costs in non-clinical settings; and consumer lifestyle and entertainment, spanning media, gaming, fintech, blockchain, and mobile infrastructure. It also seeks out emergent, frontier technologies that expand the boundaries of what is possible, investing opportunistically in founders chasing the imagined and impossible.
