We’ve been experts in Chinese tech investments since 2010. Our multinational founders – American, French & Chinese – are fully qualified scientists. Our scientific background, coupled with economic sensibility, make for sound judgment in understanding how to commercialize innovation.

While we are headquartered in Shanghai, China, our diverse portfolio remains global: from Asia, to North America, to Europe.

Our growing portfolio of hard tech startups is constantly making an impact on industries ranging from 5G, healthcare, hydrogen energy, electronics, factories and more.
