A bridge built on fluency in two worlds.
River Sky Partners was founded on a simple observation: the distance between Asian enterprise and Western capital is rarely about quality, and almost always about translation.
Our story
Some of the most compelling companies in the world are built in the Asia-Pacific — in technology, clean energy, and resources — yet remain unknown to the institutional investors and public markets of North America. The barrier is rarely the fundamentals. It is structure, language, regulation, and relationships.
River Sky Partners was established in 2021 to close that gap. We are a cross-border investment and advisory firm built by people who have operated on both sides of the Pacific — who understand what a Korean founder needs as readily as what a North American institution requires before it commits capital.
That dual fluency is the whole point. We do not simply make introductions; we make companies ready — structuring the vehicle, shaping the narrative, and guiding them toward the right source of capital, including a listing on the U.S. exchanges, while standing alongside management from the first conversation through the listing and well beyond it.
What guides us
A small set of principles shapes every mandate we accept and every introduction we make.
Conviction over volume
We take on a limited number of mandates and commit to them fully. Our reputation travels with every company we bring to market, so we are selective by design.
Fluency on both sides
Cross-border capital fails in translation. We speak the language of the founder and the institution alike — culturally, financially, and in the fine print.
Partner-led, end to end
The partner who wins your mandate is the partner who runs it. No handoffs, and no relationship left to drift once the engagement begins.
Where we operate
A presence across five of the world's most active capital corridors, connecting origin and destination under one roof.
Our home base and the gateway to North American institutional investors and the advisers who bring cross-border listings to completion.
The exchanges where we help companies list — the deepest, most liquid public markets in the world, and the destination for many of our mandates.
Deep relationships across the Korean and East Asian enterprise landscape, where many of our founder-led mandates originate.
A connection point into the wider Asia-Pacific — capital, counterparties, and the private networks that move regional transactions forward.
An expanding base of relationships across the region's fast-growing technology, energy, and resource sectors.
Leadership
River Sky is partner-led. The people who win the mandate are the people who run it — across both sides of the Pacific.
Anuj Pandya
Co-founder of River Sky Partners, specializing in deal structuring, capital strategy, and guiding companies through the listing process — from readiness and diligence through pricing and execution. His work spans Technology, AI, IoT, and Clean Energy, where he advises founders on equity structuring, investor positioning, and building the capital foundation to support a successful listing and lasting access to the public markets.
Jin Woo Lee
Leads the firm's Asia practice from Seoul, advising Korean and East Asian companies on their entry into North American markets — from listing readiness and structuring through investor positioning. He brings an extensive network of investors, corporates, and advisers built across years of cross-border work, and leads bilingual engagement between founders and Western institutions from first meeting to close.
Barry Kwok
Brings more than two decades of senior finance leadership across the Asia-Pacific, spanning real estate, land development, and pre-IPO ventures — including helping companies secure over $100 million in funding. His strength is sourcing and structuring: connecting credible projects with the family offices and private capital networks of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and shaping terms that hold on both sides of the table.
