Eurie Kim

Managing Partner

"I invest in founders building for humans and tackling problems that really matter. I have this seemingly contrarian belief that technology is only as interesting as the human need it unlocks."

Eurie's Lens

As a former entrepreneur, Eurie has deep personal appreciation for the emotional commitment and relentless passion required of a founder, allowing her to be radically empathetic while realistic and candid in the advice she offers. She is endlessly inspired by identifying evolving consumer needs, drawn to opportunities that leverage technology to innovate every aspect of life — and the right entrepreneurs with the vision to take on the challenge. She invests in founders who see what people need before it's obvious, backing those bold enough to build before consensus forms. She's rigorous about sequence more than speed: get the order of priorities right and momentum becomes inevitable.
