"Connecting Deep Tech Startups and VCs"... Ministry of SMEs and Startups Hosts VC Membership Appointment Ceremony

25 VCs and CVCs Appointed to 'Super Gap VC Membership'

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on September 24 that it will hold the 'Super Gap VC (Venture Capital) Membership' appointment ceremony and IR Day at the Seoul Startup Hub Scale-Up Center on September 25.

The VC Membership was launched in April to support investment attraction activities for super gap startups by building a membership centered on VCs and corporate venture capitals (CVCs) that have a track record of investing in such startups. Nine venture capital firms, including Stick Ventures and Shinhan Venture Investment, as well as eleven corporate venture capital firms, including LB Investment and Samsung Venture Investment, have been selected for the VC Membership.

Member companies of the VC Membership are given opportunities such as: ▲priority participation in the Super Gap IR Program, ▲priority participation in IR programs for open innovation startups, and ▲regular networking with super gap startups. This allows them to discover domestic deep tech startups with outstanding technological capabilities.

Since its launch, six IR Days have been held, with 148 mentoring sessions and 87 investment consultations. Investment attraction programs dedicated to super gap startups through the VC Membership are being actively promoted.

Cho Kyungwon, Director of Startup Policy at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, stated, "Timely investment attraction is essential for super gap startups with the best technology in Korea to grow and enter the global market," adding, "We will continue to serve as a bridge so that leading VCs, CVCs, and super gap startups can create synergy together."
