What Lanchi Ventures does

Lanchi Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests across AI, robotics, deep tech, consumer technology, and bio+healthcare. The firm manages a multi-fund platform with assets under management of approximately $2.8 billion (RMB 20 billion) across dual-currency (USD and RMB) vehicles, anchored by offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Beijing. The firm traces its heritage to Silicon Valley in 1998 and established its China presence in 2005 under Managing Partner Jui Tan, who previously built out BlueRun Ventures' Asia operations. The platform has backed over 200 portfolio companies, including category-defining bets across Foundation Models (Moonshot AI/Kimi, BioMap), AI Agents (Genspark, Vivix, AI Together, Bagelive, Trooly AI, Fabarta, YOOLEE AI), and Embodied Intelligence (Galbot, AGIBOT, TARS, Simplexity Robotics, PsiBot, Hillbot), alongside consumer (UniUni, Omi, VITURE, ChatPods), fintech (ONERWAY, RockFlow), and biotech (Allink Biotherapeutics, LTZ Therapeutics) names. Public exits include Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI), WaterDrop (NYSE: WDH), QingCloud (688316.SH), and 58.com.

The firm's core offering combines capital deployment at seed, angel, Pre-A, and Series A stages with a founder-support ecosystem including Booming Camp, the Lanchi CEO Community, AI Entrepreneurship Community, AGI Community, and Sector Gatherings. These programs provide portfolio companies with R&D pacing guidance, commercialization support, follow-on financing coordination, and talent recruitment. A pre-emptive deal-sourcing model that began mapping the AI landscape in early 2021, together with multi-round follow-on conviction (e.g., four consecutive AGIBOT rounds), positions the firm among the early-stage investors with the broadest exposure across the AI revolution's three pillars. The firm has been a UNPRI signatory since May 2022 and publishes an annual ESG Fact Sheet.

Revenue mechanics follow industry-standard early-stage VC economics: recurring management fees on committed and invested capital across multiple funds, plus carried interest and performance returns from successful exits across the 200+ portfolio company base. The fourth dual-currency fund closed at approximately $560 million (RMB 3.9 billion) in April 2026, with the RMB vehicle reaching an oversubscribed close in under 12 months. LP access is relationship-driven, spanning sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, financial institutions, family offices, national-level funds, government-guided industrial funds, FOFs, and strategic industrial partners across the US, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, and China. Fund economics (management fee rates, carried interest percentages, hurdle rates, minimum commitments) are not publicly disclosed.
