[Investment Theme | Vice President Kim Kijun of Kakao Ventures]
Approach of VC Dealing with Investment Downturn
"The balance of power between startups striving to improve their conditions with the funds they have and the investment industry waiting for startups' valuations to decrease as expected cannot be sustained indefinitely. We are waiting for a situation where startups, while improving their conditions, can overcome this balance of power from their side."
The startup industry is facing a prolonged investment downturn. As of the end of last year, domestic venture capital (VC) funds had accumulated nearly 12 trillion won, marking the highest level in history. This is an increase of 17.5% compared to the most active investment market in 2021. The accumulation of funds naturally occurred as the market situation deteriorated, resulting in a decrease in the number and size of investments. With fundraising becoming more difficult and the exit market showing rigidity, startups struggling in this environment are easily found in the news.
In this situation, we met with Vice President Kim Kijun to hear what Kakao Ventures is thinking and doing.
