Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Muirwoods Ventures?

How does Muirwoods source proprietary deal flow?
Muirwoods sources through its dual presence in Seoul and Silicon Valley and through institutional partnerships with Stanford’s Shorenstein APARC, where CEO Jennifer Jeong-Ah Ryou served as a visiting scholar, and the Ban Ki-moon Foundation. The firm also co-organizes the Trans-Pacific Sustainability Dialogue series, which brings together LPs, startups, and co-investors around shared sector themes.
Which sectors does Muirwoods explicitly target?
The firm concentrates on bio-healthcare, mobility, and IT. Within bio-healthcare, disclosed portfolio activity includes drug delivery platforms, antibody therapeutics, and medical devices. In mobility, known investments include autonomous vehicle technology through companies like Kodiak Robotics.
How does the firm’s partnership with Stanford and the Ban Ki-moon Foundation work in practice?
Through the Trans-Pacific Sustainability Dialogue, Muirwoods convenes policymakers, academics, and investors around technologies at the intersection of sustainability and venture. This forum doubles as a deal-flow pipeline and due-diligence network, allowing the firm to evaluate companies against institutional standards before committing capital.
