Grace Kim (Korea Investment Partners)

Grace Kim (김지수) is published in Korea Investment Partners’ current China Partners directory as Head of KIP Beijing. Grace, Head of KIP's Beijing Office, previously served as a full-time professor at Paichai University before joining the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI). In 2012, she was posted as KHIDI's China branch chief, leading the Korean health industry's expansion into China. Through that experience, she recognized that corporate exchange alone couldn't drive real outcomes without capital, which deepened her appreciation for the role of VC — leading her to join KIP's China division in 2015. She focuses on early-stage investments across healthcare, bio, AI, and consumer sectors. In pharmaceuticals she favors a fast-follower strategy, while in other areas she prioritizes CEO drive, whether the technology solves a genuine market pain point, and the potential to secure data for AI and future industries. Published education: Ph.D., Acupuncture-Moxibustion Tuina, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
