KTB Ventures

KTB Ventures is the San Francisco-based venture capital arm of KTB Network, a prominent financial group originally established in South Korea in 1981. As one of the earliest venture capital firms in Korea, KTB Network has evolved into a global investment powerhouse, with its US presence, KTB Ventures, spearheading investments in North American technology companies. This strategic expansion allows KTB Ventures to tap into the vibrant innovation ecosystem of Silicon Valley while leveraging the deep financial resources and extensive network of its parent organization.

The firm primarily focuses on early-stage technology companies, targeting investments across Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds. KTB Ventures seeks out disruptive technologies and innovative business models within sectors such as artificial intelligence, enterprise software, fintech, healthcare IT, and future mobility. Their investment philosophy emphasizes identifying visionary founders and providing not just capital but also strategic guidance to help scale their ventures.

KTB Ventures benefits significantly from KTB Network's substantial financial backing, as the parent company manages over $2 billion in assets under management globally. This robust capital base enables KTB Ventures to make significant commitments to its portfolio companies. Typical first check sizes for KTB Ventures generally range from approximately $1 million for early-stage Seed investments up to $15 million for Series B rounds, reflecting their commitment to supporting companies through various growth phases. The firm also offers portfolio companies access to KTB Network's extensive global network, particularly for potential expansion into Asian markets.
