Meng Lian
连盟
Meng Lian (连盟) is an investor at IDG Capital , best known in elsewhere's coverage as the firm's SHEIN investor — as elsewhere's SHEIN fundraising piece puts it, "when it comes to SHEIN, the first investor that comes to mind is naturally IDG's Meng Lian" . On how that deal happened, he's quoted saying there was nothing mysterious about it: a friend introduced him to founder Xu Yangtian (Chris Xu), and after a single meeting he felt they should invest immediately . Beyond the SHEIN connection, the corpus offers little else on his background or broader portfolio.
