Gravity Ventures announced on April 13 that it has begun recruiting for the first batch of its “Gravity Pools” program, designed to discover and nurture innovative technology startups in the fields of deep tech, semiconductor materials, components and equipment, and physical AI.
Gravity Ventures was selected as a TIPS operator by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups last year, and this year has been chosen as a Scale-up TIPS operator, establishing a staged investment support system that covers everything from early-stage investment to scaling up. In addition, in February this year, Gravity Ventures was selected as a sub-fund manager for the Chungnam Corporate Growth Venture Fund (Korea Fund of Funds), securing a stable investment resource and launching a full-scale drive to invest in deep tech and advanced technology startups.
This program is focused on accelerating the growth of selected companies, leveraging Gravity Ventures’ three core competencies. The program’s strengths include close support based on domain expertise, rapid investment decision-making and execution, and an integrated value-up structure that provides support for scaling up through follow-on investment connections.
Companies that pass the document screening will be given the opportunity to participate in a “one-day intensive program” designed for high-impact business advancement, as well as the chance to join the “Gravity Pools Day” event, which offers real investment attraction opportunities.
The program targets startups in the fields of deep tech, semiconductor materials, components and equipment, and physical AI. Customized support is provided according to the company’s stage of growth, with an “early-stage track” for startups less than seven years old and a “scale-up track” with no age restriction.
Juyong Jung, Co-CEO of Gravity Ventures, said, “Gravity aims to be more than just a financial investor for teams seeking to change the world through technology. We want to be a partner, like a co-founder, who crosses the challenging ‘valley of death’ together with you. We look forward to the active participation of startups with differentiated technological capabilities.”
