Dunamu & Partners

Dunamu & Partners

Dunamu & Partners was formed in 2020 as the dedicated investment vehicle for Dunamu Inc., the operator of the Upbit cryptocurrency exchange. Song Chi-Hyung serves as chairman of the parent while Ryan Kyung-joon Song directs the venture unit. The structure channels corporate balance-sheet capital into sectors adjacent to digital assets. The firm pursues venture and early-stage opportunities with documented positions in Pasqal (France), Nitra and Genome Insight (United States), and Musinsa, Korea Credit Data, Honest Fund, Rainist, Lambda 256, ZigBang, and Viva Republica (Toss) in South Korea. It also maintains exposure to real estate vehicles and Bitcoin holdings. Geographic coverage centers on South Korea with additional commitments in the United States and France. Deal structures include direct ownership and board seats rather than fund commitments. No public headcount or additional offices appear in available records. The firm participates in the Dunamu ESG initiative, which has directed KRW 1 billion to the World Food Programme and Bitcoin donations for Ukraine relief. No operational events from the last 24 months are recorded. As the captive venture arm of a cryptocurrency exchange operator, Dunamu & Partners maintains direct access to blockchain infrastructure and regulatory developments in South Korea that external investors lack.
