Thank you to IPO Zaozhidao and Jazzyear for the recognition.
On January 4, industry vertical media outlet IPO Zaozhidao released its annual capital market rankings, with Heart Capital named "Best Emerging Investment Institution of 2022."
This marks the third year of IPO Zaozhidao's annual rankings. The selection criteria follow established practice, evaluating investment institutions based on their track record and influence, with the aim of identifying "change-makers" — those willing to bet early on projects that shape industries and markets.
Among this year's Top 100 Investment Institutions, 57 are new entrants. This shows that even amid market volatility, fresh players continue to deliver exceptional results.
