Skyline Ventures

Skyline Ventures is a China-based investment fund founded by Liang Jie, positioned as a cross-border specialist that "only invests in cross-border and overseas" deals . Liang launched it in early 2022 with the thesis that cross-border was "the only track with relatively high certainty" amid a constrained domestic venture environment . The firm was born in a period when dollar VCs were pivoting hard toward globalisation: overseas capital flowing to Chinese VC had peaked in 2018–2019, then contracted sharply, while domestic funds faced pressure from shrinking mobile-internet dividends and rising barriers in sectors like enterprise tech and healthcare .

By 2024, Liang was observing a "gap" in North American cross-border e-commerce—seeing only trillion-dollar platforms like Pinduoduo or tiny local businesses, with little in between . In a 2026 interview with elsewhere, he described Skyline as having failed to scale ("didn't raise institutional money"), leaving him "unwilling but having to accept" the situation, before eventually returning to the table with like-minded partners who saw large, undercrowded opportunities . Elsewhere's corpus does not specify Skyline's current AUM or team size.
