Korea Venture Investment Corporation

Korea Venture Investment Corporation

Korea Venture Investment Corporation was founded in 2005 as a government-owned fund-of-funds manager. Its primary stakeholder is the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, which oversees all operations and mandates. The firm commits 100 percent of its capital to private equity and venture strategies. It targets early-stage seed and startup rounds as well as growth and expansion rounds. Geographic reach centers on South Korea with additional exposure through international partnerships in the United States and the Middle East. Confirmed holdings include positions in RXC, EverEx, Karis Bio, Brain Ventures and Tax AI, all reached via limited-partner commitments to underlying funds. The firm maintains no disclosed headcount. It participates in industry events including FLY ASIA 2025 in Busan and the K-Global Star Meet up in Riyadh in February 2026. A service agreement with HwaHyun Law Firm began in 2025. KVIC also maintains membership in the Korean Venture Capital Association. Its structure is defined by the direct supervisory relationship with the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. This creates a single-mandate public vehicle that executes policy objectives through commercial fund commitments rather than operating as an independent private manager.
