Based in San Francisco, Solasta Nexus (formerly Solasta Ventures Silicon Valley) is a venture capital platform specialized in frontier-tech and intelligent systems.
Part of the AJU-Solasta network, Solasta Nexus is anchored by AJU IB Investment — South Korea's original 'venture capital' investment firm, founded in Seoul more than five decades ago and now one of the country's largest and most prestigious VC/PE investment powerhouses, with $2B in assets under management.
Our Managing Partner and his team hold advanced degrees from Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon and MIT, and have built multiple startups to successful exits, held senior positions at large multinational tech corporations, operated across global markets in the US, EMEA and Asia, and built VC/CVC teams from the ground up.
Our 30+ investments and exits include*: Cohere, Databricks, Docusign (Nasdaq: DOCU), Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE: DNA), Lambda AI, MindMeld AI (acquired by Cisco; our Managing Partner served as COO), Novaled (acquired by Samsung), PrimeSense (acquired by Apple), Rescale, SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX), Widevine (acquired by Google), among others. (*Includes investments made by our team prior to Solasta Nexus)
While we continue to invest actively, the official launch of Solasta Nexus, including this website, will arrive later this year.
