Staying Disciplined in Early-Stage Investing, Empowering Founders at Critical Moments
From August 10 to 12, the 16th China Investment Annual Summit was held in Hangzhou. The summit is one of the private equity industry's most authoritative and influential annual gatherings, and the focal point of attention for VC/PE practitioners nationwide each year.
Today, ChinaVenture released its "2021 Annual Investor Rankings" at the event.
In this year's selection, Jui Chan and Terry Zhu, managing partners of BlueRun Ventures, were both named to the 2021 "China's Best Early-Stage Investors" TOP50.
Jui Chan was also named to the 2021 "China's Best Internet Sector Investors" TOP20.
Known as a bellwether of China's equity investment industry, ChinaVenture has published its China Venture Capital and Private Equity series rankings for 16 consecutive years. The rankings are segmented according to primary market industry developments, with strict criteria and a reputation for professionalism, authority, and rigor.
BlueRun Ventures adheres to early-stage investment discipline and believes that early-stage investors should provide founders with critical empowerment from a market perspective, building deeper connections with entrepreneurs around their core business. BlueRun believes that the most critical form of empowerment an early-stage investor can offer is working alongside founders at the 0-to-1 stage to identify and meet demand earlier and more precisely — and, through a longer-term lens, to support companies still on the cusp of commercial inflection.
