For exceptional technology companies, SOLOMON PARTNERS designs and runs the capital raise: sharpening the technical story, mapping the right investors in Korea and internationally, and managing the process from first meeting to close.
Companies in our coverage sectors raising meaningful rounds — typically Series A through growth — and selected special situations: carve-outs, recapitalizations, and strategic minority placements. We take on few mandates, and only where our own technical review supports the raise.
Every engagement begins with a readiness review: our own assessment of the technology, traction, and claims, conducted with the same rigor as our independent advisory work. What survives that review becomes the backbone of the materials — a technical narrative investors can diligence rather than merely admire. We then map and sequence investors, run the outreach and meetings alongside management, coordinate diligence, and support negotiation through to close.
Venture and growth funds, corporate strategics, family offices, and institutional investors — in Korea and across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Deep-technology rounds increasingly cross borders; a Korean drone company may close with a Gulf sovereign-linked fund and a U.S. defense-tech VC in the same syndicate, and we build for that reality.
Because our name on a process means the technology has already survived hostile review. Investors know we conduct independent assessments for a living, and they read our involvement accordingly — which shortens diligence, sharpens terms, and protects credibility.
Where the placement of securities is a regulated activity, it is conducted with or through duly licensed partners who perform the regulated activity under their own licences and receive any transaction-based compensation. See our disclosures.
Talk to us before you open the round. A readiness review now is cheaper than a stalled process later.
