Awesome Ventures

Awesome Ventures is a Seoul, South Korea-based venture capital firm founded in 2017, investing in B2B startups from seed through Series A across five domain areas: climate technology, medical technology, fintech, space technology, and enterprise software. With a team of nine including three partners, the firm leads rounds with checks averaging $1 million and ranging up to $3 million. Awesome Ventures has invested in 41 companies, including Webs and Armored Fresh, and has seen one IPO and one acquisition in its portfolio. The portfolio is distributed primarily across consumer and enterprise applications, with meaningful positions in climate and health technology reflecting the firm's deep tech orientation. Korea's strong engineering talent base in manufacturing, electronics, and materials science gives Awesome Ventures access to technically sophisticated founding teams capable of building competitive deep tech companies. Active investments continue, with the fund deploying into companies across Asia-Pacific. Awesome Ventures differentiates itself as one of the few Korean venture firms with a genuine deep tech mandate spanning climate, space, and medical technology — sectors that require technical evaluation capability most local generalist funds lack. The firm targets B2B companies where South Korea's competitive strengths in engineering and manufacturing create durable advantages, particularly in space technology, medical devices, and climate solutions. Its multi-sector deep tech focus positions it at the intersection of Korea's engineering tradition and the global demand for solutions to environmental, health, and infrastructure challenges.
