Research Findings

Research into Crescendo Equity Partners and HPSP reveals a complex ownership structure involving Peter Thiel's investment network. Crescendo was established in 2012 with Peter Thiel's sponsorship and co-founded by Thiel and CEO Ki-Doo Lee. In 2017, Crescendo acquired a 51% controlling stake in HPSP for approximately 10 billion won ($7 million) from Poongsan Group's equipment division. The company was then reorganized and listed on KOSDAQ in 2022 under ticker symbol 403870. However, specific Korean FSS DART database records regarding beneficial ownership disclosures for the 2020-2022 period were not accessible through public search. As of November 2024, Crescendo initiated the sale of its 40.9% controlling stake, with the company valued at over 4 trillion won. The offshore structuring details during the critical 2020-2022 period would require direct access to Korean regulatory filings that are not publicly searchable in English databases.
