신한투자증권, 미국 AI 애드테크 밸류체인 기업 몰로코 투자금 성공적인 회수 완료 뉴스 제공 서울--( 뉴스와이어 )--신한투자증권은 2021년에 투자한 미국 AI 머신러닝 기반 광고 자동화 서비스 기업 몰로코(MOLOCO)에 투자 원금의 2.5배 이상에 달하는 수익률로 전량 회수했다고 11일 밝혔다. 2021년 상반기에 신한투자증권과 스마일게이트 인베스트먼트가 공동업무집행사원(GP)으로 설립한 ‘신한스마일게이트 글로벌 제1호 PEF’는 몰로코에 약 2000만달러 규모로 투자를 진행했다. 이번 회수는 전량 구주 매각을 통해 진행됐으며, 미국, 유럽, 아시아에 있는 글로벌 굴지의 기관투자자들에게 구주를 매각했다는 점에서 그 의미가 더 깊다. 신한투자증권은 AI 트렌드가 본격적으로 시작되기 전인 2020년부터 AI 기술 투자에 집중해 왔다. AI 기술 파급력이 가장 클 것으로 예상되는 시장 중 한 곳을 모바일 애드테크 시장으로 보고, 애드테크 밸류체인 내에서 AI 기술 기반으로 폭발적 성장 중인 몰로코를 투자 대상 회사로 선정해 딜 소싱을 진행했다. 이번 구주 매각 시에는 신한투자증권이 오랜 기간 누적해 온 글로벌 에쿼티 운용 경험과 네트워크가 빛을 발했다. 해외 비상장 투자를 시작한 2018년부터 꾸준히 구축해 온 글로벌 전역의 투자 네트워크와 논의를 진행했고, 약 1년간 투자자 리스트 선정, 가격 협상, 실사 대응, 계약서 협의 등을 진행한 끝에 몰로코 구주 매각을 성공적으로 완료했다. 신한투자증권은 이러한 유니크한 경험을 바탕으로 올해 2월 국내 기업 및 기관투자자들 대상으로 ‘글로벌 비상장 주식 자문 서비스’를 새롭게 개시했다. 한편, 몰로코는 2013년 구글 엔지니어 출신인 안익진 대표가 미국 실리콘밸리에 설립한 애드테크 업체이다. 머신러닝 기반 모바일 애플리케이션 특화 광고 플랫폼 서비스를 주력으로 하고 있으며, 190개국 이상에서 약 310만 개의 앱과 90억 대 이상의 디바이스에 광고를 제공하고 있다. 2020년부터 2024년까지 매출이 10배 이상 성장했으며, 몰로코의 광고 플랫폼을 통해 2024년 한 해 동안 약 20억 달러 규모의 연간 광고 거래액을 기록했다. 또한, 5년간 지속적으로 흑자를 기록하고 있다. 신한투자증권은 지난해 국내 대기업과 협력해 호주 수전해 기업 하이사타(Hysata), 미국 데이터센터 서버용 스마트팩토리 기업 브라이트머신스(Bright Machines)에 투자했으며, 최근에는 미국 고성능 AI 클라우드 기업 람다(Lambda)가 진행한 시리즈 D 펀딩에 약 930만달러 투자를 진행했다.
