Gao Yan has invested in 100 seed companies

Looking for such an entrepreneur

The seed business is the natural continuation of Gao Yan's innovative investment gene.

"In the second year of our establishment, we invested in a seed company. When Zhang Lei took us to investigate, people's chairs were not enough, and at that time we were still a seed company that had just started." Li Liang recalled.

Since its establishment, there have been more than 100 seed wheel companies invested by Gao Yan. In addition to outstanding domestic entrepreneurs, there are also many entrepreneurial enterprises from Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. Many of them have grown into unicorn in the world - Gao Yan has accumulated a lot of experience in seed investment. Baiji Shenzhou, Horizon, Siri Robot, Weilai, Yuanxiang Technology, Neumora, Moody, Little Freddie, etc., are all known representatives. It is worth mentioning that among the seed companies invested by Gao Yan, technology companies account for 83.6%. Since 2022, Gao Yan has also made frequent shots in seed investment, and has invested in 20 companies.

In the past experience, it brought a methodology -along the previous research -driven genes. The high -end seed business will track the structural changes in technology, industry, and industries to find entrepreneurs who have profound insights in the field of segments. These people have experienced a certain degree of experience, industrial accumulation, and want to challenge higher technology and engineering thresholds. At the same time, they also have strong entrepreneurial passion, firm beliefs, and outstanding insights.

Taking the Horizon of the Enterprise of the Seed Wheel, Yu Kai, the founder of Horizon, was already a senior expert in the industry before starting a business. It's too difficult. " And Gao Yan not only became his earliest firm supporters, but also gave direct help at the level of subsequent round financing and international layout.

There is also a new material for the startup Jiangsu Qingxuan. Before the company was founded in 2021, Chen Boyi, the founder of Jiangsu Qingxin New Materials, had two entrepreneurial experience. It is a manufacturing "veteran" who has experienced several industry cycles. There are extensive prospects for medical packaging, industrial protection, and building materials. The first round of financing of Jiangsu Qingye's new materials is to join hands with Gao Yan, which is also the "two -way go" under the in -depth consensus of the two parties in the future manufacturing industry.

"What we want to find is some experienced entrepreneurs, at the same time, passion and strength, industrial accumulation, and to challenge high technology and engineering thresholds." Li Liang introduced that now launching seed business ", Can build an infrastructure for industry development with partners, remove wet and innovative soils, and support more excellent seeds to sprout and develop.

With "co -creation" as the core, Gao Yan has accumulated many industrial partners for many years, and can provide a broad space for many seed companies to provide scenes and in -depth cooperation.

Founded in 2018, the Silin robot has received at least 7 rounds of financing. Gao Yan is the main investor of his seed wheel. "When there are only ten people in Siri, Zhang Lei always brought us to some industrial giants. Some of them became the most important customers in the early days of our entrepreneurial entrepreneurship, which helped us stand in the physical industry from the beginning. At the forefront. "Chen Zhaoyi, the founder of Sirling Robot.

Gao Yan has helped Beipo creatures to complete the business imagination from 0 to 1. As a scientist, Tian Ruijun, a professor at Southern University of Science and Technology, has accumulated many years in the field of protein groups. Furthermore, how to push scientific research results from laboratory to clinical applications, and to meet patient needs and solve clinical problems with innovative technologies, it is the focus of his attention. In early 2022, based on the common belief in technical principles, as the founder of science, Professor Tian Ruijun and Gao Yan investors jointly launched a in -depth research on the transformation path of protein groups. The newly established entrepreneurial team successfully completed a number of tasks such as company registration, team recruitment, industrial upstream and downstream resource integration, and reaching strategic cooperation with well -known domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies. A emerging biotechnology startup -Bayomics was born Essence

Following the Early Early Gene, looking for an entrepreneur who "experienced and challenged the threshold", based on the principle of "co -creation", the innovation test field ecology was used to seek some certainty in uncertainty. Gao Yan is helping more "seeds" Blooming possibilities.

A lively scene of the venture capital circle: All are in the seedling period

The consensus now is: from VC to PE, everyone is investing in the earlier.

To this day, the movement of the investment phase is an indisputable fact. In recent years, the Venture Circle has clearly felt the continuous blur of the boundary between PE and VC. A large number of PE giants have set up VC funds and invested early projects.

The head institutions came. In August of this year, Sequoia China officially launched the "Yuè" entrepreneurial accelerator, which was led by Sequoia Global Executive Partner Shen Nanpeng. Several Sequoia Chinese partners taught them in person. The first lesson of entrepreneurial journey. This is another entrepreneurial entrepreneurship within Sequoia China -not only the entrepreneurial services, but also to create an incubator similar to YC internally to serve the earliest entrepreneurial team.

In fact, as early as 2018, Sequoia China established a seed fund. In 2021, Sequoia increased the proportion of early investment (SEED+Venture) to 80%, especially in the angel and seed side increased the investment ratio. At the same time, Sequoia China launched a new measure for early enterprises: as long as Seeds and Angels invested by Sequoia China, when the company obtains the second round of financing, it will automatically obtain Sequoia China at least 1 million yuan Support of RMB.

Coincidentally, in June of this year, the source capital also announced the establishment of a seed period for the establishment of a seed period, and named it "Source Sugs". This is an independent investment team that is an independent investment line with the remaining investment business of the source codes. With the concept of "investing" and decision -making mechanisms, it discovers, supports and accompany technology entrepreneurs from 0 to 1. Source codes also shot frequently in the seed wheels. Tiger Global Fund is also a typical representative. The giants this galloping in the first and secondary markets not only swept the VC circle, but also entered the seed wheel a few days ago. In early May this year, the Indian e -commerce SaaS company Shopflo completed the $ 2.6 million seed round financing from Tiger Global Fund This is also the first seed wheel in India since 2019. The investment community was informed that tigers used management fees to specialize in the seed period.

Today, Gao Yan seeds have also come, and the biggest feature may be "co -creation" -not only supporting the funds, but also focusing on the key issues encountered in the early days of business entrepreneurship, jointly judging the strategic direction, assisting the establishment of a talent team to build a talent team Introducing upstream and downstream resources, supporting enterprises for continuous financing, etc., "Cooperate with our ecological partners to provide innovative platforms, pre -investment support, industry -academia consultants, industrial resources, financing services Professional services, together with the founders of the enterprise, are intensively cultivated and accompanied by growth. "Li Liang emphasized.

Why go into earlier? Gao Yan believes that early investment has entered the stage of "discovery value" to "discovery+creation value". Investment institutions need to understand the innovation of industry and technology more deeply, and to release the value of the original technology breakthrough with excellent entrepreneurs, with excellent entrepreneurs Create high -quality products and service supply.

Another important reason is that the valuations of the first -level market are obvious to all, and the irrational valuations of the hot track cannot withstand the test of the secondary market. VC/PE even lost to the B round. This means that the earlier it is, the more likely to avoid embarrassing losses.

Of course, the more important is that the earlier for investment in technology, the more precious the meaning of companionship -the popularity of the science and technology track.

Collective into the early stage, this is a disruptive scene in the history of China Investment.
