Rui Han

Rui Han is a partner at Gaorong Capital (高榕资本/高榕创投) who has emerged as one of the most peer-recognized investors of his generation in China's venture capital industry. In a 2023 36Under36 survey of 105 candidates, he received the highest number of votes from fellow investors—39 out of 96 valid ballots—placing him ahead of peers from BAI Capital, ZhenFund, and Sequoia China . He led Gaorong's investment in Moonshot AI (月之暗面), the prominent Chinese large language model company, with his team finalizing investment materials in the early hours of April 14, 2024 . Han has described Gaorong's decade-long focus as backing projects that "make people's lives and the world better," with AI representing a major deployment area that he views as "just the beginning" . In his own framing, he warns that "if your purpose is someone else's means, you get dimensionally reduced" .
