Haim Venture Investment completed its AC application last month and raised about 2 billion KRW in available investment funds.

Furthermore, it aims to become a partner that resolves entrepreneurs’ business concerns.

CEO Daesung Park stated, “In the current venture investment downturn, expertise in investment and consulting for early- and mid-stage startups will clearly be a significant advantage compared to other institutions in supporting startups. Based on this, we will actively support startups’ value-up and grow a venture investment platform business.”
