Hudson Ho

Hudson Ho (호경식) is published in Korea Investment Partners’ current China Partners directory as Head of KIP China (Shanghai). Hudson, Managing Partner, felt the limits of advising clients from the outside as a consultant and concluded it would be more meaningful to execute directly or share in the results himself. In 1999, he founded and ran an internet company, growing it to about 20 employees and raising venture capital, before selling it to a listed company in its second year — an experience that drew him into VC and led him to join KIP. In Korea, he invested in semiconductor and internet platform companies such as Neofidelity, WiSol, ICreditable, and AfreecaTV. After establishing KIP's China office, he expanded into consumer internet, high-tech, and biotech investments including DiDi, Henlius, Weimob, and Ambiq. He places the highest value on a founder's problem-solving ability, leading early-stage investments in industries with strong expected growth and selecting companies that can secure clear technological differentiation.
