WHAT'S PANGAEA ABOUT?

Based on our team's broad capital markets experience and successful track record
of bringing companies to a NASDAQ listing
(NASDAQ: SEED, HYRE, HJLI, TRCH, CODX & 50%-plus returns cash on cash in past 12 months),
the KW Pangaea United Fund invests in businesses that bring innovative,
commercial products to market. We strongly believe in ' collaborative diversification ' across verticals
and society-building values, such as meritocratic, diversity-based cultural, and
conservative family-centric values, are good for business.

Thus, was born the idea of the Pangaea United Fund.
There are a great many, paradigm-shifting ideas and talent
that simply needs the benefit of some knowledge, mentorship, and
experience. Not all ideas and talent turn out to be great, but we feel the under-exploited
& unexploited opportunity in ones that were overlooked or blocked for
lack of both human and financial resources was potentially great. We built the
fund with the same values we aim to foster and support — action-oriented,
simple, lean, and clearly focused.

We also participated in a fabulous 15th Annual DARI Awards Banquet sponsored by KOCCA event where notable individuals and companies were honored in assisting in the cross-border efforts in developing commerce between USA and Korean.
