INTERVIEW
incubatefund
To face big goals and new changes without fear.
First of all, what is the best thing about Incubate Fund Inc. that you are proud of?
The four partners share an entrepreneurial investment philosophy of taking risks and taking on challenges based on their own convictions. We are proud of our partnership, which allows us to learn from each other's challenges and help each other through difficulties, with the determination to remain at the forefront of venture capital.
You meet a lot of entrepreneurs (including potential entrepreneurs) every day.
Think Different", "Just Do It", and "Never Give Up". They are people who envision what the future should be without being bound by conventional wisdom, embody it through their own actions, and never give up even when faced with difficulties.
Please answer if there are any appealing corporate values that remain unchanged despite these trends.
After all, it's very attractive to pursue the social necessity and commercial rationality of a company's existence at the same time.
What do you keep in mind when you work, what is important to you, and what do you want to protect?
It is to face big goals and new changes without fear, and to reward all the challengers and supporters, especially the start-up managers, both materially and spiritually.
What kind of person would you like to meet through your work? Please describe your ideal partner.
I believe that all challengers who act with an entrepreneurial spirit, with an awareness of their impact on society, are my friends and colleagues, regardless of their position.
What do you think a venture capitalist should be in terms of investment?
I would like to be a mediator of growth opportunities as a manager for entrepreneurs who overcome ups and downs and create large businesses, and I would like to be a person who can help design the genes for the company to achieve lasting growth. To this end, I believe that I must play the role of a lead investor from the start-up phase, be the first discoverer and advocate of the entrepreneur's ideals, and at the same time be a supporter who does not run away until the end, even in difficult times.
For me, the ideal VC is one who contributes to the enhancement of corporate value, without gambling on entrepreneurs or taking a bystander's stance, in order to meet the expectations of investors and fulfill their responsibilities.
