Zhou Liu
刘昼
Zhou Liu (刘昼) is the founding partner and chairman of Shenzhen-based venture capital firm Fortune Venture Capital (达晨创投). He was originally an assistant at Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary (湖南电广传媒), where in 2000 the company's chairman gave him RMB 100 million to start a VC firm in Shenzhen — making him, in 暗涌Waves's telling, the "assistant" who would build one of the RMB market's most distinctive institutions . Fortune Venture Capital endured years of losses after the ChiNext board's 2001 suspension, with Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary showing unusual patience toward the struggling unit; by 2005, Liu was reportedly given an ultimatum to return from Shenzhen to Changsha . He later framed the 2020s as the moment when "the pendulum of the era has swung to RMB funds deeply rooted in local soil," announcing in June 2023 that Fortune Venture Capital had raised over RMB 5 billion for its new comprehensive fund .
