Company Growth & Investment Strategy
summary
An accelerator based in Korea describes a concrete pipeline: scouting applications and events, investing in 64 studios to date and raising $32 million raised (portfolio follow-on money) over three years, typical initial checks from 40K–400K with a target of 5–15% equity, and angel rounds often at $100–300K; claims 60–80% of participants secure follow-on deals or publishers. Advice: build a community from day one, prefer grants/savings to avoid bad early terms, show demo metrics and burn plan, and expect a tight market where “cash is king.”
