GFT Ventures is an investment fund that specializes in early-stage venture capital, focusing predominantly on Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A financing rounds.

They actively invest in a wide range of industries including BioTech, FinTech and Financial Services, A.I. and Big Data, HealthTech and Fitness, Blockchain and Cryptos, Web Security and Privacy, Autonomous Vehicles and Cars, Cloud Services and Infrastructure, Medical Devices and Hospital Services, Robotics, Healthcare and Wellness, Mobility, Nanotechnology, and Consumer sectors.

With investment amounts ranging from $100,000 to $10,000,000, GFT Ventures targets a sweet spot of around $1,000,000 per investment, fostering growth and innovation within their portfolio companies. They leverage their extensive experience and network to support entrepreneurs in developing customer connections and partnerships, particularly in Asia, due to the co-founder Jay Eum's experience in this region.

Eum, with over 20 years of investment experience, has established and led the US venture capital operations for Samsung and was previously at TransLink Capital and the Silicon Valley office of Vertex Management.

GFT Ventures stands out with their deep ties to Asia and a strong foundation in technology and emerging markets, which is bolstered by the team's cross-border operational expertise and an expansive understanding of both the commercial and cultural landscape necessary to scale startups globally.

The fund looks for innovative companies that have the potential to disrupt markets and applies a strategic approach to propel their growth trajectory through both capital and strategic support.
