Heejin Kim

Heejin Kim (김희진) is published in Korea Investment Partners’ current Venture Partners directory as Executive Director. Heejin began his career as a semiconductor engineer at Samsung Electronics before moving to Partners Investment, where he gained investment experience and witnessed firsthand how technology and capital can come together to reshape industries. Rather than following a more predictable path, he was drawn to venture capital by the opportunity to work alongside founders creating new value amid uncertainty. He looks for founders with ambitions beyond building unicorns toward creating the next generation of decacorns, and takes a people-first approach to investing from the earliest stages. He focuses on the vision and execution of founding teams, as well as their potential to reshape markets at a structural level, and strives to be a long-term partner who listens closely to the voices of founders. Beyond investing, he also hopes to one day create something in his own way that resonates with people. Published education: B.S., Advanced Materials Science and Engineering, Korea University.
