Harry Wang of Linear Capital has again won multiple awards from ChinaVenture, including "China's Best Early-Stage Investor" and "China's Best AI Industry Investor."

On August 12, ChinaVenture released its "2021 Annual Investor Rankings" at the 16th China Annual Investment Summit. Harry Wang, founder and CEO of Linear Capital, once again made both the "Top 50 Best Early-Stage Investors" and "Top 20 Best AI Industry Investors" lists.

For 16 consecutive years, ChinaVenture has published these rankings as an independent third-party institution — the "ChinaVenture Rankings" — which are widely regarded as a bellwether for China's equity investment industry and serve as an important reference for major institutional LPs when making allocation decisions. The rankings are known for their strict categorization standards and their professional, authoritative, and rigorous methodology.

Drawing on CVSource data, the rankings evaluated investors across four metrics — investments, exits, portfolio projects under management, and industry influence — during the period from May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2022. The process involved questionnaire surveys, interviews, data verification, and cross-checking, with standardized processing of all data and final rankings based on aggregate scores. The evaluation covered 1,200 investors from over 300 institutions, offering a comprehensive measure of market conditions and competitive dynamics. For the full list, click "Read More."
