Profile
Samsung Next is a corporate venture capital arm based in San Francisco, founded in 2012. Led by David Lee, the team consists of experts across various domains including Raymond Liao and Andy Duong. Unlike traditional VCs, they leverage their integration with Samsung Electronics to provide strategic value to portfolio companies, offering a unique proposition to the entrepreneurs they work with. Samsung Next focuses on sectors such as AI & Intelligent Machines, Healthtech, Consumer Services, and Frontier Technology. Although specific check sizes are not detailed on their site, as a corporate venture capital arm, their investment strategy generally aligns with Series A through late-stage investments across North America, Europe, and Asia. The firm does not publicize total assets under management or list of funds typical to standalone VC firms. Notable investments include Mosaic - visual search and creativity, Deci - deep learning optimization platform, Alchemy - blockchain development platform, and Covariant - robotics and AI. Samsung Next's strategic position within a major electronics corporation allows it to cultivate deep links with technology-driven companies poised to reshape industries.
