From June 11–12, the 36Kr WAVES2025 summit took place in Liangzhu, Hangzhou. At the event, 36Kr officially released its 2025 annual series of rankings for China's equity investment industry. Linear Capital and its founder and CEO Harry Wang were honored with the following recognitions:
"China's Most Influential Early-Stage Investment Firm"
"Top 10 Early-Stage Investment Firms in China's Equity Investment Industry"
"Top 100 Most Founder-Friendly Investors in China" — Harry Wang
According to 36Kr's analysis, while the market remains under short-term pressure, the IPO market for VC/PE-backed companies showed signs of relative recovery in Q1 2025, with Chinese companies increasingly listing in Hong Kong. Investment institutions have entered a critical transformation period. Under a healthier, more sustainable, and more liquid diversified exit ecosystem, and alongside deepening capital market reforms, investment firms focused on technological innovation are well-positioned to stand out in this wave of industrial upgrading.
As an early-stage investment firm focused on frontier technology, Linear Capital will continue to support technological innovation through concrete action, exploring "non-linear growth possibilities along a linear path" together with its portfolio companies.
