Yung Park Capital

Yung Park Capital

Yung Park Capital was founded in 1999 by Yung Park, a serial technology entrepreneur who generated his wealth through founding and selling companies including a business process outsourcing firm. The family office operates from five offices across the US and China, with headquarters in Pasadena, California. The firm's investment strategy spans four primary asset classes: real estate (including commercial and residential projects), private credit (direct lending and structured debt), hedge funds (multi-strategy allocations), and venture capital (technology startups, often with Korean-American or Asian diaspora connections). Known direct investments include real estate holdings in Southern California and Arizona, and venture stakes in early-stage tech companies. The firm's geographic footprint covers North America and Asia, with particular focus on the US West Coast and China. Yung Park Capital employs roughly 10 professionals across its offices. Chris Kim serves as Managing Director, overseeing investments and operations. The firm also operates a philanthropic arm, the Yung Park Foundation, focused on education and community development. In March 2025, the firm increased its private credit allocation by $100 million, signaling a strategic shift toward income-oriented strategies (per public statements). The firm's structure as a single-family office with a multi-asset, multi-geography mandate is relatively unusual among technology entrepreneurs who often focus solely on venture capital. Yung Park's succession plan involves a family council, with his adult children participating in investment committee decisions.
