Where sources disagree

  • Headline size: Nearly $1bn assets under management (site) (S1) vs $300m fund added, bringing managed amount to $780m (GCV, Sep 2023) (S6). Different dates; GCV article also gives KRW 1bn as an equivalent, which does not match $780m.S1S6
  • Exits: 10 exits or ipos (home page) (S1) vs 8 companies tagged Exits on portfolio page (S3). Home page count versus portfolio filter.S1S3
