Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Redbadge Pacific?
Investment decisions are led by founders Jonathan C. Kim and Gapsu Kim from the Singapore headquarters. Kim serves as Managing Partner for the Singapore office, while Gapsu Kim operates as CEO and Chairman. The platform draws on the broader Redbadge family office structure under Robert L. Burch for capital allocation and institutional relationships.
How does Redbadge Pacific source proprietary deal flow?
The firm originates opportunities through the Kim family’s established networks in Korean and Southeast Asian business communities. Jonathan C. Kim’s membership in the Milken Institute and Entrepreneurs Organization Singapore, combined with the Pontiac Land Group relationship through Vice President Douglas Lee, provides access to off-market transactions that institutional investors rarely see directly.
Is Redbadge Pacific structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Redbadge Pacific operates as the Asia-Pacific arm of the Burch family office but functions as a global alternative asset manager with institutional characteristics. The platform accesses both family office and external institutional capital, positioning it between a pure single-family office and a traditional fund manager.
Does Redbadge Pacific participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm focuses on direct investments and co-investment structures rather than acting as a fund-of-funds. Its typical deployment model involves sourcing direct equity positions in technology-enabled companies and real estate assets, then offering participation to co-investors from its network.
What investment stages does Redbadge Pacific typically target?
The platform covers early-stage seed and startup rounds, expansion-stage growth equity, and late-stage investments. This broad mandate allows the firm to follow portfolio companies from initial venture backing through later funding rounds.
Which sectors does Redbadge Pacific explicitly avoid?
The firm does not publicly disclose sector exclusions. Its stated focus areas include enterprise software, AI/ML, digital health, fintech, and real estate, with no documented positions in heavy industrials, commodities, or basic materials.
How is Redbadge Pacific related to Miya Capital?
Miya Capital is a multi-family investment platform founded by Jonathan C. Kim that operates alongside Redbadge Pacific. Where Redbadge Pacific serves as the institutional-facing arm connected to the Burch family office, Miya Capital extends the real estate and venture mandate into a family office network structure.
