What founders say about us
"Han Bridge Capital has been a meaningful value-add on Paraform's cap table. Their extensive Korean Silicon Valley network has been instrumental in connecting us with multiple potential hires, investors, and customers, meaningfully accelerating our progress. What sets Han Bridge Capital apart is their follow-through and reliability on their promises— they relentlessly followed through on the top priorities we had post-raise. For any founder seeking a steadfast partner with a formidable network, Han Bridge Capital should undoubtedly be at the top of their list. The Korean community of angels, founders, and operators is only growing, and they bring with them a genuine interest in our success."
John Kim
CEO @ Paraform
“Nicholas is an A+ angel. His decision making and wire process is quick and founder friendly.
Nick’s post investment involvement is also A+. He’s always willing to help, and never in the way. He made the introduction that closed our Seed round, and has made several valuable introductions to folks in our industry.
I fully recommend Nicholas to founders.”
Jack Chapman
CEO @ Cardinal Gray (YC S23)
“The meaningful community of Korean support Han Bridge Capital has created has been incredibly helpful for us. Han Bridge Capital connected us with relevant investors and partners from their network when we needed it most for our seed round, resulting in our first post-accelerator seed check. In addition, their regular community events (lunches, fireside chats, events) for Korean founders have meaningfully provided us with potential customers, valuable insights, and allowed us to connect with the growing Korean community here. For any founder debating becoming part of the Han Bridge Capital network, I'd say don't hesitate to work with the team— they follow through on what they promise they will deliver!"
