BlueRun Ventures Ranked TOP 2 in 36Kr's "Most LP-Recognized Early-Stage Investment Firm"
Turn every thought and action into an influence factor that contributes to the future.
Today, the 2022 China Fund Partners Summit was held in Hangzhou, where 36Kr released its 2022 Investment Institutions series list, dedicated to identifying and spotlighting the investment institutions and their LPs worth watching in the market.
The White Horse / Dark Horse series is 36Kr's window into observing market shifts and finding the standouts amid changing tides. This year, 36Kr continued its evaluation across four dimensions: fundraising, investing, portfolio management, and exits, extensively soliciting and interviewing LP perspectives — and, given this year's market environment, placed added emphasis on mapping GP fundraising activity to arrive at the final composite rankings for White Horse and Dark Horse institutions.
BlueRun Ventures, recognized for its strong investment performance and fundraising results, ranked TOP 2 in "2022 China's Most LP-Recognized Early-Stage Investment Institution."
This marks 36Kr's fourth consecutive LP/GP survey, inviting 1,500+ VC, PE, fund-of-funds, and industry funds to participate. Through targeted distribution of research questionnaires, the team gathered detailed data across four dimensions — fundraising, investing, management, and exits — and conducted follow-up site visits and phone interviews based on questionnaire responses to understand the full market picture.
Thank you for this recognition. BlueRun Ventures will continue to stay committed to tech investing through action and support founders from 0 to 1, making every idea and endeavor a force that contributes to the future.
