Gyeonggi Province's content sector, the company's initial investment in the 'NEXEED' fund, which was created to invest in the company, is similar to 'Superman Fund' in operation. Superman funds and NEXEED funds, which are in operation to invest in venture businesses in the province, lack the distinction between investment and support companies, and it is necessary to supplement specific standards for fund support.
According to the 2018 budget data analyzed by the Gyeonggi Provincial Budget Policy Officer on April 4, in order to expand investment in start-up content businesses in the province's content sector, which is relatively difficult to secure funds, the company plans to establish Nexed Funds 1 and 2 of 38 billion won in May 2016 did. Donated 5 billion won out of 18 billion won for the first NEXEED, and 2.2 billion won out of 20 billion won for the second. By the end of the year, the company will invest 3 billion won to build a third fund of 19 billion won.
However, the Budget Policy Officer analyzed the 12 companies that invested in Nex Seed Funds No. 1 and No. 2. As a result, it is pointed out that they are differentiated from those of Superman Fund investing companies, which have been operating since 2015 to foster small businesses and venture companies in the province. In fact, W has received investment support of 500 million won for the production of 'O2O service for imported cars' in No.1 seed fund No.1, and it has already received 700 million won in investment by introducing the same product in Superman Fund No.1. M company (1.9 billion won), which received investment support from Superman fund, is a mobile content producer. T company (500 million won) is a company that invests in a new seed fund by developing game software and mobile game W and D companies (300 million won, 500 million won, 1.5 billion won) are similar fields. In addition, the problem of the relatively low investment of the NEXEED Fund in the province is added.
Among the 12 investment companies of NEXEED Fund 1 and 2, there are 5 companies within 7 years of the start-up period, and only 1.9 billion won (23%) out of the total investment amount of 8.2 billion won was invested in the enterprises in the early stage of establishment. Unlike the initial goal of initially investing in companies, there are three companies with more than 10 years of establishment, so it would be necessary to consider how to adjust the company's business to less than three years after the start-up.
"The Supreme Mortgage Fund and the NEXEED Fund should clearly define the areas in which they want to invest, so that as many investment companies as possible can benefit from the investment support," said the Budget Policy Officer, "We need to look for ways to strengthen active investment support for companies in the province."
