HICO Ventures is the Silicon Valley venture investment business managed by HICO Management LLC, an exempt reporting adviser with SEC CRD 328878. Its parent is SK Networks Americas LLC, formerly HICO Capital LLC; the corporate holding vehicle and this fund manager are distinct. HICO invests in early-stage artificial intelligence, AGI infrastructure and middleware, digital assets and frontier technologies across geographies. Its published initial-check strategy of USD250,000–1 million is a strategy range, not an amount assigned to every investment. Samuel Kim is managing partner and the legal manager’s managing member; Hardik Mittal is a partner. Gina Moon’s affiliation is historical, confirmed as pre-MBA employment by Yale, and the website-listed Nkechi Iregbulem affiliation is qualified because her linked profile is unavailable and current employment is unconfirmed. Current SEC filings identify HICO Ventures I LP and a Bow-HICO feeder with separate legal general partners. SK Networks announced an initial joint-fund close at the end of 2023; the exact date and total committed capital are undisclosed. A USD50 million initial offering target with zero sold in the initial Form D is not a confirmed fund close. Actual issuer-confirmed investments include Final Round AI and Poetiq. Investment-manager portfolio relationships are not retroactively attributed to its later-formed funds when the original corporate subscriber was TenX/HICO Capital.
