BASS Ventures

BASS Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018 and based in Seoul, South Korea. It invests at pre-seed through pre-Series A, a stage at which product, market and team direction are typically still unsettled, and targets founders working on what the firm describes as ambitious, unconventional challenges. Since founding, the firm has invested in more than 150 startups.

The firm's operating model pairs its investment team with a dedicated growth team that works directly with founders and portfolio companies. The arrangement is designed to extend beyond capital alone: the growth team supports founders through the early stages of company-building, with particular emphasis on team-building as companies take shape. The stated objective is to help founders convert ambitious visions into enduring companies.

For candidates, the relevant structure is this two-track model - investment and growth working side by side with portfolio founders - combined with a concentrated focus on the earliest venture stages. Further detail is available at https://bass.vc/.
