About

John Nahm is a venture capital investor at Strong Ventures who specializes in backing Korean diaspora founders and companies that turn Korean cultural products into global businesses, from webtoons and games to consumer goods like makgeolli and kimchi. He operates from Los Angeles, which he views as an e-commerce capital and consumer trend testbed, and has built a reputation as both an ecosystem connector between Korean founders and global markets and a hands-on partner who helps startups with fundraising and cap table structure beyond just writing checks.
