Seoul National University Technology Holdings (CEO Mok Seung-hwan) has released an infographic summarizing its startup investment and contribution to the startup ecosystem through 2025.
Seoul National University Technology Holdings has proven its status as a leading national startup support organization by winning the 2025 Minister of SMEs and Startups Award in both the "Outstanding Startup Planner (AC)" and "2025 TIPS Outstanding Operator" categories. Portfolio company Rebellion was also named "TIPS Company of the Year" and received a Minister of SMEs and Startups Award. The fact that both the operator and portfolio company received awards simultaneously demonstrates Seoul National University Technology Holdings' investment acumen and full-cycle support capabilities.
Through 2025, Seoul National University Technology Holdings invested a total of KRW 7.4 billion in 31 companies. This investment supported the continued growth of startups through follow-up investments in 23 new portfolio companies and eight existing companies. Key new investments include Apla, Blue Robin, Mingle Lab, Safe Kitchen, Wifair, and Dadadak Healthcare. Follow-up investments were also made in existing companies such as Rebellion, Nanum Vitamin, Space Beam, and Pure Space.
Seoul National University Technology Holdings operates a diverse technology-based portfolio encompassing deep tech, biotechnology, platforms, digital content, and consumer goods. It also provides comprehensive support to startup teams through government-funded projects and its own growth programs. A total of 101 companies have been recommended and selected for the TIPS program.
In terms of fund management, the successful dissolution of the 'Seoul National University STH Brightonics Private Investment Association' was completed, and follow-up investment was attracted through a university-level project fund, creating an EXIT case.
CEO Mok Seung-hwan stated, “In line with the university’s mission of the times, we will support the first steps of early-stage companies and grow together with startups through full-cycle programs. We will create continuous success stories and establish ourselves as a trustworthy institution for both investors and entrepreneurs.”
