Yaotu Capital

Yaotu Capital is a Chinese venture capital fund with a concentrated focus on hard-tech sectors, particularly semiconductor and autonomous-driving-related chip companies. Its portfolio pattern shows repeated co-investment alongside larger, established funds: it joined Gaorong Ventures in Innoviz's 2017 Series B , followed Gaorong into Raysolve's Pre-A round in late 2021 , and appeared in subsequent rounds for Vertilite (2021) and GravityXR (2022-2023) . The fund also turns up in 5Y Capital's deals, as with Vastai Technologies' A and A+ rounds in 2020-2021 . A more recent data point from late 2025 places Yaotu among the backers of Linguniverse, an AI world-operating-system startup . Beyond these deal traces, elsewhere's corpus carries no profile of its founding team, AUM, or investment thesis in depth.
