About Samsung Next

Samsung Next is the venture and innovation arm of Samsung focused on consumer software, AI, and digital platforms, including selectively digital health, mental health, and consumer wellness products that align with Samsung’s device and platform strategy. Stage focus is seed through Series B, with checks plausibly in the $1M to $10M range depending on stage. Healthcare exposure is opportunistic and concentrated in consumer-facing digital health, mental health, and wellness platforms rather than therapeutics, devices, or hospital-side enterprise software. Physician founders building consumer mental health platforms, wellness apps with credible engagement and retention signals, or digital health products with Samsung device or platform alignment are the right profile. Founders building therapeutics, B2B hospital software, or capital-intensive devices should pitch elsewhere. Geographic posture is global, with active deal capacity in North America, Europe, and Israel. The realistic entry path is a warm introduction from a Samsung Next portfolio CEO, a co-investing seed or Series A fund, or a Samsung product team contact; the partners are responsive and the process is generally founder-friendly. Founders should arrive with consumer-grade engagement metrics, retention math, and an articulated product narrative. Treat Samsung Next as a strategic consumer-tech partner with platform distribution insight, particularly relevant for digital health founders building consumer-pull products that align with the broader Samsung ecosystem.
