How Altos Ventures Built Success by Thinking Long Term


Listen Later

In this episode, Rob Olsen, Head of Private Capital at Nicola Wealth, and Jason Luo, Senior Director of Venture Capital, speak with Han Kim, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Altos Ventures, a global venture capital firm known for backing breakout companies like Roblox, Coupang, and Woowa Brothers.

Han walks through Altos' early challenges, from launching a fund just before the Asian financial crisis to navigating the dot-com bubble, and explains how those experiences shaped a long-term, founder-first approach to venture investing. The conversation explores what it means to invest with conviction, why the best opportunities often require patience, and how staying close to founders can lead to rare, compounding outcomes.
