About Youri

I love being an investor because I get to be on the front lines of change and innovation. We partner with founders and companies who revolutionize the way we live, work and play.

What I most admire in a founder is a bold vision and the clarity, adaptability and grit required to realize that vision. When I was six years old, my family emigrated from Korea to Hungary, where my parents started their own business. They didn’t have a blueprint on how to succeed, but we tackled challenge after challenge, honing in on what worked and what didn’t along the way. Today, I have a special place in my heart for immigrant founders who put everything on the line to realize their dreams.
