Richard Liu
刘强东
Richard Liu is an entrepreneur and investor known for backing Chinese tech startups. Per a 2024 暗涌Waves piece, he invested in NIO after founder Li Bin pitched him over a meal — Liu's wife Zhang Zetian later recalled that her husband "said yes in 10 seconds" after Li Bin's 15-minute presentation . He also provided early funding to edtech entrepreneur Liu Ye, contributing to a $1 million round for what became Talkit when "almost no one believed" the venture would succeed, as Liu Ye told 十字路口Crossing in 2025 .
elsewhere's corpus does not cover Liu's own entrepreneurial background or the full scope of his investment portfolio beyond these deals.
