Venture Capital in China

For many investors, venture capital in China remains something to be considered carefully. Nonetheless, the number of Chinese VC funds has been increasing significantly over the last five years.

A brief look at the history of the VC opportunities available to Chinese entrepreneurs reveals a government, which, although recognizing the large amount of innovative ideas and industries available domestically, lacked the experience to effectively manage private equity funds.

Fortunately for Chinese entrepreneurs, the availability and management of capital has improved as organizations that promote funding and entrepreneurship are working to match investors with innovators. The recent global economic downturn has slowed the influx of foreign capital to some degree, but even that seems to subsiding and recent VC forecasts have been positive.
