Overview
POSCO Capital was founded in 1997 as the dedicated investment arm of POSCO Holdings, which retains 95 percent ownership. The firm sits in Pohang and maintains operational ties to POSTECH for technology sourcing. Its mandate covers venture, growth, buyout, and secondaries strategies. Confirmed co-investors include Hyundai CRADLE on hydrogen startups and Samsung Venture Investment on deep-tech and materials deals. Activity remains concentrated in South Korea with additional exposure through UN Global Compact commitments. The firm lists two physical assets: POSCO Center in Seoul and Changeup Ground Pohang on the POSTECH campus. It also operates the POSCO 1% Foundation and the POSCO TJ Park Foundation. Ownership by a single industrial parent creates a direct link between investment decisions and the steel and materials operations of POSCO Holdings.
