Frequently asked questions
What is DT&Investment's regulatory structure in South Korea?
DT&Investment is registered as a New Technology Business Finance Company under South Korea's Specialized Credit Financial Business Act. This designation, supervised by the Financial Services Commission, permits the firm to provide both equity investments and technology-focused loans to early-stage and below-investment-grade companies — a dual capability that distinguishes it from standard venture capital firms operating solely as equity investors.
How does DT&Investment source its deals?
As a Seoul-headquartered firm regulated under Korea's technology finance framework, DT&Investment sources deals through Korea's dense network of government-backed accelerators, university research labs, and the startup clusters around Gangnam and Pangyo Techno Valley. The firm's dual equity-and-credit mandate also generates inbound deal flow from companies seeking venture debt alongside equity capital.
What differentiates DT&Investment from other Korean venture firms?
The structural differentiator is its New Technology Business Finance Company license, which permits a combined equity-and-venture-debt model. In practice, this lets DT&Investment support portfolio companies through equity market downturns by extending credit lines without forcing dilutive down-rounds, and allows the firm to earn interest income alongside equity carry — a hybrid return profile uncommon among Seoul's pure-play venture capital firms.
