Hye Kim, Managing Director at IMM Investment — profile portrait

Joining NANRO Next as a mentor, Hye Kim is a lead investment officer in the venture investment division of IMM Investment, one of Korea's leading VC houses. Building on a background in strategy consulting, global partnerships, and cross-border investment, she has backed and driven the growth of companies including Noom, Korea Credit Data, and MangoBoost.

She sees a striking resemblance between a chef building their own brand and a founder building a startup. She joins NANRO Next as a mentor to lay the investor's language of numbers alongside the chef's language of craft, and to help chefs take their next leap.
