목승환 중기부 창업벤처혁신실장 “AC, 컴퍼니빌더 확대해야”

This news signals Korea's government recognition of structural challenges facing accelerators and proposes policy solutions, marking a potential turning point for the venture ecosystem. By addressing the mismatch between startup growth timelines (12-13 years to IPO) and fund maturity periods (7-8 years) through continuation fund adoption and enhanced company building support, the government enables both early investors' profit realization and startups' long-term growth. The shift from past sanctions to company building support represents a substantive commitment to revitalizing Korea's venture ecosystem.
