Meridian Capital

Meridian Capital (华映资本) is a Chinese venture fund that shows up in elsewhere's corpus mostly through its deal activity rather than any dedicated profile — so the picture is of an active early-stage investor whose portfolio spans consumer and, more recently, hard tech and embodied intelligence. On the consumer side it followed Shunwei into matcha brand Guancha's Series A back in 2018, per FreeS Fund's write-up . More recently it has been leading rounds in frontier hardware: it led the Pre-A3 strategic round in Micro-LED microdisplay maker Raysolve in December 2023, with 37 Interactive and miHoYo following, according to reports from both Source Code Capital and Gaorong ; it joined the hundreds-of-millions-yuan Pre-A+++ round in Independent Variable Robotics in 2025 alongside Yunqi and GF Xinde, per Unity Ventures ; and it led the Pre-A+ round of aerial-robotics startup DiffRobotics in September 2025, then added more in the company's A2 round announced in September 2026, per 5Y Capital . On the people side, Gaonan Zhang is a named investor at the firm, appearing as "华映资本章高男" in a Linear Capital piece on general AI in 2023 . Elsewhere's corpus doesn't carry basics like its founding year, fund size, or overall strategy — only this trail of disclosed deals.
