Samsung NEXT Accelerator

The Samsung NEXT Accelerator is a corporate venture and acceleration program administered by Samsung NEXT, a division of Samsung Electronics, that invests in early-stage software and services startups.

Backed by a $150 million fund, the program typically provides initial investment checks ranging from $250,000 to $1 million while offering portfolio companies access to global product integrations across the hardware ecosystem. The organization has executed over 230 investments to date and supported notable technology companies including Luma AI, Yuga Labs, Dapper Labs, and Axie Infinity. This resource is intended for early-stage technology founders seeking capital, operational guidance, and strategic corporate partnerships to scale innovative software and services solutions.
