STIC Ventures

STIC Ventures is a Seoul-based venture capital firm established in July 2018 as a separate venture investment business, having grown out of the venture investment division of STIC Investments. The firm backs venture companies characterised by promising businesses, core technologies and new business models, and describes its role as supporting the development of those companies through investment. Its registered office is in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on Teheran-ro 78-gil.

The firm's stated investment focus spans three overlapping areas: venture investment generally, core technology investment, and new business models. Within the South Korean venture capital and startup investment market, STIC Ventures positions itself as a domestic investor in early-stage and growth-potential companies; the firm has not publicly disclosed fund size, stage focus or check size in the information reviewed here.

STIC Ventures publishes team and portfolio information on its website. It also issues an explicit warning that neither the firm nor its employees solicit investments from individuals or raise investment funds through social media or text messages - a caution aimed at a market where impersonation of investment professionals is a recurring problem.
