We are proud to announce our first investment in South Korea 🇰🇷 Muirwoods Ventures led the round with participation from 블루포인트 (Bluepoint) and Simsan Ventures. Congratulations to Joshua Choi and Enercamp and a warm welcome to the Simsan Ventures family Enercamp develops high-efficiency energy storage device technology intended for smart battery charging. The team is expanding abroad and growing rapidly, offering market-leading and differentiated products to electric vehicle users Our GPs chose to invest in the pre-series A round as a result of the long-lasting relationship with the founders, their expertise, innovative technology, achievements and traction. There was a race between almost all VCs, CVCs and LPs in the South Korean startup ecosystem who wanted to invest in Joshua and his team, so we once again thank Enercamp for aligning with our mission and choosing us as one of their early investors and supporters We send thanks to our LPs who believe in our mission, allowing us to become the first British early-stage VC based in Seoul, where our team and fund is growing and we can't wait to make an impact in Europe, India and South Korea #venturecapital #earlystageinvesting #southkoreanfounders #crossbordertech #technology #europe #electricvehicles #visionarylps #impactinvesting #southkorea #uk #deeptech #entrepreneurship Sahil Chopra Sagar Chopra Rancho Lee Vashali S.
