Spigen Korea
Spigen Korea is the single-family office for David Kim, managing the wealth from the Spigen mobile accessories brand.
Spigen Korea
Spigen Korea was established in 2015 as the single-family office for David Kim, the founder of Spigen. Kim built the Spigen brand into a leading mobile accessories manufacturer, with cases and screen protectors sold via Amazon and major retailers globally (per public reports). The office manages the wealth from that business. The firm targets direct investments in consumer technology, mobile accessories, and e-commerce, often co-investing alongside venture firms. Known portfolio activity includes stakes in accessory-related startups and small consumer brands. Geographic focus is North America and Asia, per public filings. Team size is not publicly disclosed. The office appears to operate with a small professional staff from its San Jose headquarters. A related philanthropic arm, the Spigen Foundation, focuses on education and entrepreneurship grants. Unlike larger single-family offices, Spigen Korea maintains a narrow mandate tied to the founder's operational expertise in consumer hardware and online retail. That focus limits deployment but creates deep sector knowledge.
