Investment Thesis

Samsung Catalyst Fund is Samsung Electronics' evergreen multi-stage venture capital fund investing in deep-tech AI infrastructure. The fund focuses on creating value and fostering mutual growth and benefits, working closely with entrepreneurs and disruptive ideas. They leverage Samsung's industry leadership and product breadth to identify and invest in startups whose disruptive technologies have the potential to improve people's lives globally, helping create new generations of cutting-edge business success. The fund aims for co-prosperity, benefiting themselves, their portfolio companies, partner investors, and the communities where they operate. SCF operates as a U.S.-based fund, fully owned by Samsung Electronics, but with a charter to make independent investment decisions and assume fiduciary responsibility to its portfolio companies. This structure allows for rapid and transparent investment decisions, supporting portfolio companies both internally within Samsung and externally. The fund is committed to investing in technologies that deliver tangible benefits to society and the world. The core approach involves leveraging Samsung's platform and resources to scale big ideas. SCF views startups not merely as financial investments but as key drivers of Samsung's future growth. They strive for socially and environmentally responsible corporate citizenship, viewing investment success as a win-win-win scenario for all stakeholders.
