Who We Are
Invested Differently. Built Together
JK Investment Partners is a family-owned investment group founded by managing partners - Han Ju and Young C. Kim
We launched our first venture, Giving Tree Pet Resort, with the belief that great businesses start with great people—and that belief has shaped every move since.
Unlike traditional private equity firms, we don’t just invest from the sidelines. We stay deeply involved, offering hands-on support to our partners while fostering a culture of trust, clarity, and shared success.
We don’t just fund businesses—we build them, together.
Our Vision
Our vision is to find the right partners and empower them with the capital, operational support, and strategic guidance to build fun, resilient, and profitable businesses. We are deeply engaged—because for us, this isn’t just business, it’s personal.
