What founders say about Next

Garrette Furo, Co-founder, Atomic Form

“Next genuinely cares about the companies and founders within their portfolio. There’s no ask that's too big or too small – the whole team will show up and do what it takes to make you and your team successful.”
John Crain, CEO, SuperRare

“Samsung Next goes above and beyond to support founders and their teams. They’ve opened doors to new partners, provided direct access to Samsung teams and leadership, and jumped in to provide hands-on support wherever it was needed. Next really stands out as a value-add investor.”
Yana Welinder, founder and CEO, Kraftful

“Samsung Next walks the talk. As a founder, you’re doing new things every day and the fate of your company depends on your ability to learn fast. Having an entrusted partner—in thought and execution—like Next has allowed me to quickly drive business impact, while opening doors for new partnerships and growth.” -
Andy Hoang, founder and CEO, Aviron

“Samsung Next is more than an investor; every member of their team is a partner from initial conversation forward. Next sets the bar for how investors can show up for early stage companies.” -
Jeff Marsilio, Co-Founder and CEO, Nifty’s

“When you join the Samsung Next portfolio, they take the time to understand what you need to build and grow your business. Whether it’s their brand, their connections, their resources, or their access - Next is a powerful amplifier for any company.”
