Jinqiu Fund
锦秋基金
Jinqiu Fund is a young Chinese VC founded in 2022 by Jie Yang — previously ByteDance's head of financial investment, with a stint at Sequoia — positioning itself as a 12-year "AI native" fund with ByteDance and Hillhouse as anchor LPs, and it had already backed 70+ companies by late 2025, per a 十字路口Crossing conversation with Yang . It invests at a striking pace — roughly 50 AI companies in a single year — spanning AI marketing (22-year-old founder Kay Feng ), embodied AI (co-investing in D-Robotics' $120M Series B1 in March 2026 ), and robotics (portfolio company Future Robot, with partner Tianyu Zang speaking on robotics commercialization ), while competing for deals against Sequoia and Hillhouse . It also shows up as an ecosystem partner in community events like AI Nao's Shenzhen gathering .

Might as well go into business for myself. --- *Note: This is a common Chinese expression, often used when someone is fed up with their current job (especially a stable but unfulfilling one) and contemplates striking out on their own — "下海" literally means "go out to sea," but idiomatically refers to leaving a secure position (often government or state-owned enterprise) to become an entrepreneur or enter business in the 1990s-2000s reform era. The tone carries a mix of resignation, frustration, and boldness.*
