“The World is Rounder”

As information, people, and capital move around the world with unprecedented speed and fluidity, it is increasingly difficult for a company with a solely Silicon Valley focus, talent pool, and cost structure to compete in a global market.

Entrepreneurs need help accessing people, ideas, materials, and markets globally. This help is what GGV Capital is able to deliver.

We know from first-hand experience that the trend toward globalization affects companies of all sizes and from all industries. No one is immune.

Communications technologies now enable ideas to move freely, so that innovation can occur anywhere. Capital is unconfined by international borders and is becoming readily available to entrepreneurs well beyond the traditional VC center of Silicon Valley. Companies routinely establish and manage remote manufacturing and R&D facilities within the normal scope of their operations, while delivering goods and services to consumers via worldwide channels of sales and distribution. Skilled individuals enjoy unprecedented mobility, not only in their daily work, but also in their choice of where to pursue their careers or to start their next venture.

The process of building companies to serve global, and even local, markets is truly becoming a global endeavor that requires new approaches.

GGV’s team provides expert guidance and hands-on assistance in this dynamic, highly mobile, and fast-paced global business environment in which the U.S. and Asian markets play leading long-term roles. Our team leverages our extensive experience, deep network of relationships throughout the U.S. and Asia, and team on the ground in these markets to add value to our portfolio.

GGV Capital publishes thought-provoking articles on a variety of topics of interest to entrepreneurs and venture capital investors.
