Biography

Lee Ki-ho heads KB Investment's 딥테크1본부 (Deep Tech Investment Division 1). Seoul Economic Daily reported on 24 April 2026, verbatim, 스패너에 후속 투자를 단행한 KB인베스트먼트의 딥테크1본부는 이기호 본부장을 주축으로 소부장∙양자 등 딥테크 분야에서 글로벌 성공 가능성이 보이는 기업에 대한 투자를 이어가고 있다, describing his division as continuing to invest in deep tech companies in areas such as materials, parts and equipment and quantum technology. In February 2025 Bloter described him as 벤처투자4본부장 and representative fund manager of the 스타트업 코리아 케이비 세컨더리 펀드, which the same article said was closing at 1075억원, that is KRW 107.5bn, with 225억원 from the Korea Fund of Funds, 50억원 from Korea Growth Investment Corporation and more than half of the total from KB Financial Group affiliates. His division title therefore changed between those two reports, and the more recent one is used here. No education, prior employer or board seat for him could be sourced.
