Strong Ventures is a bi-continental venture capital firm founded in 2011, headquartered in Los Angeles and Seoul, that specializes in financing and mentoring early-stage entrepreneurs. The firm operates as a generalist, sector-agnostic investor with a thesis focused on backing resilient founders building category-defining companies while enabling their global expansion, particularly for Korean and Asian startups. It targets Seed to Pre-Series A stages across diverse industries including SaaS, e-commerce, healthcare, fintech, and deep tech, with typical initial check sizes ranging from $100,000 to $1 million. Strong Ventures often acts as a lead investor but reserves 50% of its fund for follow-on investments to support portfolio companies through subsequent rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Hupo, which received a $10 million Series A led by the firm in January 2026, as well as Realry and Laplace Technologies, which received investments in 2025. The firm’s distinctive point of view centers on three pillars: conviction in founders, global expansion enablement, and embracing niche or underserved markets that other investors overlook [1
