A new generation of Chinese founders is quietly building the next wave of global giants—leaner, faster, and more relentless than ever before.
Most American investors aren’t paying attention, but we are.
We’re not your typical investors
We work with Chinese companies building consumer products for the US market, and we’re here to help. We bring more than a decade of Silicon Valley startup experience to your team. We aren’t just financial investors—we roll up our sleeves and help founders tackle their most pressing problems.
Customer strategy.
We’ve developed a repeatable process to truly understand customers, their problems, and their needs. We help founders understand their best customers, and work with them to turn these insights into their next great product opportunity.
Product roadmap.
The hardest part of building a product is deciding where to focus your team’s energy and resources. We help founders think through different strategic trade offs specific to the US market.
Go to market.
The language that teams use to talk about their products is important. We use customer insights to help refine messaging and positioning to improve conversion. Our team works closely with founders to take customer insights and turn them into marketing opportunities.
Building great teams.
We work with founders to understand what roles strategically should sit in the US, and we help them build a robust process. We help connect founders to great recruiters, and we directly interview leadership candidates in the US on behalf of the team
