BlueRun Ventures' Jui Chan and Terry Zhu Named to Forbes China's Midas List
Focus on the intersections where foundational science and frontier technology converge and compound.
In 2022, Forbes China conducted its 16th annual independent survey of venture capital investors active in the Chinese mainland market, selecting 100 investors with strong track records over the past five years from a pool of nominees put forward by more than 200 VC firms.
Jui Chan and Terry Zhu, managing partners at BlueRun Ventures, were named to the 2022 Forbes China Midas List.
In recent years, venture capital in China has taken a decisive turn toward more durable sectors — new energy and hard tech. As an early-stage technology investor, BlueRun Ventures has consistently focused on the intersection of foundational science and frontier technology, paying attention to the soil before others focus on the harvest, and working to bridge the gap between research and market. In doing so, it captures high-growth opportunities by identifying the drivers behind that growth — actively partnering with founders from zero to one.
