Target
Remember & Company started in 2013 as a business-card management app and became an AI-enabled HR tech platform with a database of over 500 million name cards, 5 million users and more than 10,000 enterprise clients using its recruiting, networking, CRM and lead-generation tools. 2024 revenue was reported at KRW 68.4bn (KRW 5.8bn in 2021).
Deal rationale
EQT announced the acquisition of a controlling stake through BPEA Private Equity Fund VIII, citing Korea's demographic shifts, rising demand for experienced hires and the spread of AI-enabled recruiting, and said it aims to make Remember Asia's leading HR tech platform. Seller Ark & Partners, which bought 47% for about KRW 110bn in late 2021, called the exit a validation of its secondary growth buyout strategy, with reports of more than 2x its investment.
