Kudos: Nice Piece on China VC in VentureBlog

Filed in archive Blogs on February 1, 2008

David Hornik took a nice look at Venture Capital in China earlier this month. I came across it a few days ago and couldn't resist sharing it with my readers.

At 1500 or so words, David's piece is fairly hefty by Internet standards. But I enjoyed reading it. With a broad brush, he paints a picture of VC involvement in China - the attraction, the challenges, some of the major players. The piece came out of a recent trip he took to the People's Republic.




A short excerpt should whet your appetite:

To the mind of the Chinese investing community, the market dynamics described above well outweigh the risks of investing in the current environment. Huge markets with lots of business white space provides for numerous opportunities for economic gain. While American investors are busy debating the degree to which the US startup market is saturated, Chinese investors are having trouble keeping up with the inflow of opportunities. The opportunities in China seem unbounded, making foreign investors starry-eyed.

Give David's piece a look. I think you'll enjoy it...
