The Ventures Invests in 40 Deals by September through 'Monthly Batch'... "Expanding Investment in Early Entrepreneurs"

The early-stage startup-focused investment firm The Ventures announced on the 10th that it has completed a total of 40 investments through its "Monthly Batch" system, which regularly conducts investment reviews every month until last month this year. Including ongoing investments, it is expected to achieve around 50 investments this month, similar to last year’s level.

The Ventures' Monthly Batch system supports efficient investment reviews according to a monthly schedule, helping founders focus on their business. Investment decisions are made through a 20-minute Q&A interview without a separate investor relations (IR) pitch, and funds are designed to be provided within two weeks.

The Ventures continues to expand investments in early-stage startups through the Impact Collective Korea Fund (5 billion KRW scale, established in 2020) and The Ventures Founders Community Fund 1 (19 billion KRW scale, established in 2022). Key portfolio companies supported include secondhand fashion resale app Fruitsfamily, Korea’s number one clothing collection service Recle, needle-free continuous glucose monitor Apollon, and AI-based premium web novel studio PEEX. In addition to investments, as of last month, it operates a community that helps form networks among founders, achieving a 100% acceptance rate in the TIPS program.

Kim Cheol-woo, CEO of The Ventures, said, “Our investment team is composed of members with startup experience who understand founders’ difficulties better than anyone else,” adding, “Our goal is to solve the challenges faced by early-stage founders and provide an environment where they can focus on their business through swift decision-making and tailored support.”
