Profile
Sinovation Ventures (创新工场) was founded in September 2009 by Dr. Kai-Fu Lee (previously head of Google China and founder of Microsoft Research Asia) with the purpose of galvanizing a new era of successful Chinese entrepreneurs. We are a truly differentiated early stage venture capital fund with $1.2 billion in assets under management, in both USD and RMB funds. As a top domestic China entrepreneurship platform, we work closely with our founders; we provide not just venture financing, but also value-added professional services, including in areas such as UI/UX design, product, marketing, recruiting, legal, government relations, and finance, thereby helping start-up companies grow rapidly in their first couple of years of operation.
