services
BizCreation provides integrated, bidirectional cross-border venture solutions that connect Korean VC-backed startups with global capital and partners — and vice versa.
We facilitate international co-investment, business collaboration, and M&A between venture-backed companies and investors worldwide, with deep specialization in the MENA and European markets.
We act as a venture catalyst, helping startups scale globally and enabling VCs and CVCs to unlock value-accretive opportunities across borders — from Korea to the world, and from the world to Korea.
1. Strategic Venture Matchmaking
We initiate and structure strategic B2B alliances between VC-backed companies in Korea and abroad. These collaborations enable joint go-to-market initiatives, product integrations, and commercial partnerships across complementary markets.
2. Curated Deal Sourcing
We deliver tailored, investor-fit deal pipelines to both Korean and global VCs/CVCs. Cross-border investment theses and portfolio alignment guide our sourcing, identifying high-potential startups from both inbound and outbound channels.
3. Co-Investment Syndication
We coordinate syndicated investment rounds between Korean and international investors, facilitating shared access to high-quality deals, capital efficiency, and network leverage. Both outbound and inbound syndication structures are supported.
4. Cross-Border M&A Facilitation
We advise on buy-side and sell-side transactions involving VC portfolio companies and scale-ups. This includes Korean startups acquiring abroad, as well as foreign startups or corporations engaging in M&A activities in Korea for strategic entry or exit.
5. Global Scale-Up & Market Entry Enablement
We help Korean startups expand into global markets via strategic partnerships, investor introductions, and local execution support across North America, Europe, MENA, and Asia.
Conversely, we assist foreign VC-backed startups and venture investors in entering the Korean market, including:
- Local fundraising from Korean VCs and CVCs
- Strategic partnerships with Korean corporates and scale-ups
- Korea-based M&A exploration
- Acting as their Korea branch or liaison office, providing ongoing local representation, relationship management, and opportunity execution
6. Supporting FVCIF Programs for Foreign Venture Capital Funds
The Foreign Venture Capital Investment Fund (FVCIF) is a Korea-based government-backed fund of funds, managed by Korea Venture Investment Corp. (KVIC) as General Partner (GP). FVCIF invests in foreign VC funds managed by qualified global venture capital firms to foster cross-border collaboration and support the global scale-up of Korean startups.
By partnering with FVCIF, global VC managers can leverage Korea’s institutional capital and use their track record in Korea as a strategic reference point to build long-term relationships with top-tier Korean limited partners (LPs).
The Summary of the Korean Venture Capital Market
Why It Matters
