Inside GGV

GGV Capital was founded in 2000 with the vision of creating an innovative 21st-century global approach for venture capital investing. As businesses struggled to react to unprecedented changes in the flow of information, capital, and people, GGV Capital’s founders recognized that China was on the verge of breaking out of its laggard position in commerce, technology, and entrepreneurship, soon to emerge at the vanguard of these changes. GGV Capital was custom-built to seize the opportunities created by the confluence of these factors.

From its inception, GGV Capital’s activities in the U.S. were complemented with a direct presence in Asia and a team that worked with equal ease in both markets. We achieved early successes with investments in industry leaders such as Alibaba (HKSE:1688), Oculex (acquired by Allergan), P-Cube (acquired by Cisco Systems), and Kintana (acquired by Mercury Interactive).

We draw from a far-reaching network of relationships among investors, entrepreneurs, technologists, corporate executives, and service providers to optimize our investments and add value to our portfolio companies.

The global venture capital investment strategy that proved successful early on has been enhanced as we continue to expand our investment team in the U.S. and in Asia, deepening our local presence while cultivating cross-border opportunities around the world. As globalization continues to create new opportunities for expansion-stage ventures, we remain committed to investing in and adding value to the emerging leaders of the future.
