The firm takes its name from the river at the center of one of modern history's most consequential economic transformations, the same river that produced Samsung, Coupang, Krafton, Naver, and a generation of founders operating globally. That pattern, technical depth applied at scale, is the template for the next generation of category-defining companies.
