Lavender Hill Capital Partners

What Lavender Hill Capital Partners does

Lavender Hill Capital Partners is a privately held venture capital firm headquartered at 21/F, China Hong Kong Tower, 8-12 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong. Founded in 2019, the firm invests in growth-stage technology and technology-enabled companies globally, with disclosed portfolio exposure across Greater China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. The firm operates with a deliberately small core team (1-10 employees), led by Founding Partner Xiaoyin Zhang, supported by a Beijing-based Venture Partner, investment and operations staff in Hong Kong, two Independent Directors, and an Advisory Board. Its stated investment philosophy emphasizes long-term orientation, selectivity, high conviction, and hands-on involvement with founders it characterizes as having strong moral compass, integrity, and grit.

The firm's product is capital and strategic support for portfolio companies rather than a traditional product offering. Revenue mechanics are typical of a growth-stage VC: equity investment with unrealized returns via exits and carry; investment terms and fee structures are not publicly disclosed and are negotiated deal by deal. Deal sourcing is conducted through direct outreach, professional networks, referrals, and a dedicated business-plan intake channel. The disclosed portfolio spans digital banking (TymeGroup), recruitment (Glints), cross-border trade finance (XTransfer), robotics and automation (Cyclone Robotics, Elite Robots), digital asset management (Gryfyn), Greater China real estate/finance (Homeking365), Japan technology (Bioworks), and other technology plays (Kody), with the March 2026 co-investment in Elite Robots' 600 million yuan D+ round representing the most recent disclosed deployment. AUM, fund size, LP composition, management fee economics, and internal financial metrics are not disclosed in the source data, limiting quantitative analysis of the firm's scale and unit economics.
