Storm Ventures Promotes Minjoo Kim to Partner

We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Minjoo Kim to Partner at Storm Ventures.

Since joining Storm in 2021, Minjoo has been a bridge between Silicon Valley and Korea, helping Korean companies in Silicon Valley and vice versa. Her portfolio includes key investments like AB180, CarbonSix, Circula, Classum and Specter, where she has been hands-on in accelerating their growth and positioning them for success.

Roi Nam, Founding CEO of AB180, an AI-powered mobile marketing and analytics platform, shared his appreciation: “Minjoo has been instrumental to our growth as we build a global B2B AI & SaaS company from Seoul. Her deep expertise in metric-led management, go-to-market strategy, and proactive support has been critical in helping us optimize our business and build a foundation for healthy, sustainable growth. We would confidently recommend Minjoo and the Storm Ventures team to any Korean or APAC tech founder with global ambitions.”

Prior to Storm, Minjoo learned enterprise sales at Dow/DuPont and corporate strategy at BCG Seoul. She received an MBA from Seoul National University and Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from KAIST.

“We are impressed how Minjoo has become a ‘full-stack’ VC -- learning to lead investments and build the Storm brand,” said Tae Hea Nahm, Partner at Storm Ventures. As a result, we expect Minjoo to lead Korean AI-first deals, as Storm continues to invest aggressively in AI-first applications and tools.”

Minjoo Kim shared her thoughts for the road ahead:

“I’m excited to step up to Partner and keep working with the Storm team and our founders. Connecting with nearly 1,000 leaders through Storm’s ‘Path to Surfing Unicorn’ sessions has been invaluable, and I look forward to continuing to share these sessions in my new role. My focus is on bringing the strength of Silicon Valley’s B2B expertise to the Korean ecosystem, helping AI-first companies get to global scale.”

‍

We’re proud of Minjoo’s achievements and her commitment to innovation across continents. We can’t wait to see what she does next.

Congratulations, Minjoo!
