Forest Partners

Forest Partners is an independent venture capital and private equity firm based in Seoul, South Korea, that invests in early-stage and growth-phase companies led by Korean founders. The firm operates a comprehensive cross-over investment platform spanning venture capital, growth equity, and public equity markets, allowing it to financially support private enterprises as they transition into publicly traded entities. While primarily focused on domestic high-growth technology startups, the organization also allocates investment capital to emerging corporate opportunities across the broader Southeast Asian region. Before being classified as inactive following its final recorded financial transactions in early 2022, the firm built a diverse portfolio featuring recognizable companies such as Tridge, Dot Slash Dash, and ReCarbon. Forest Partners was established by founding partner and chief executive officer Alex Seung Han, though its exact founding year remains unspecified in public records.
