Local Angel Investors Gather to Boost Startup Investment Momentum
"2025 Angel Investment Hub Integrated Investment Presentation" to Be Held
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Angel Investment Association announced that they will hold the "2025 Angel Investment Hub Integrated Investment Presentation (IR)" at Tipstown S6 in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, on September 24.
The regional Angel Investment Hubs are operated in four major regions across the country with the aim of alleviating the concentration of angel investments in the Seoul metropolitan area and promoting investment in local regions. Starting with the launch of the Chungcheong and Honam hubs in 2021, the Angel Investment Association has established and operated four hubs to date, including the Southeast hub in 2023 and the Daegyeong hub last year.
This integrated IR event for the Angel Investment Hubs will feature investment presentations from 16 outstanding local startups that have received angel investment through the hub’s programs, as well as one-on-one investor matching consultations for local startups, aiming to attract follow-up investments. Outstanding startups, angel investors, accelerators (AC), venture capitalists (VC), and other stakeholders in the startup and investment ecosystem from the four major regions will gather in one place.
In particular, this event will also provide investment education for angel investors and startups from across the country, including practical sessions on writing investment review reports, case studies of investment points, and exit strategies. These sessions are designed to enhance understanding of the decision-making processes that can be challenging during investment and to offer hands-on experience.
The four regional hubs currently in operation have achieved strong results compared to initial business plan targets between January and September this year, including 48 sessions of the Angel Investment Bridge Program (with participation from 350 companies) and 18 investment presentations and educational sessions for discovering and nurturing angel investors (attended by 741 people). As a result, the hubs have drawn significant interest from local angel investors.
Cho Minsik, President of the Korea Angel Investment Association, stated, "This event was prepared to share the achievements of the regional Angel Investment Hubs and to support follow-up investments for local startups. The Association will continue to foster local angel investors and connect early-stage startups, striving to build a robust startup and investment ecosystem in the regions."
