Shanghai Venture Partners specializes in helping to raise capital for entrepreneurs in China. Unlike typical financial advisors, we actively manage each stage of the process and truly take a “hands-on” approach with our clients, often advising them on strategy, competitive positioning, financial projections, and corporate restructuring, as well as assisting with business development.

Investors will judge the quality of a potential investment opportunity based on numerous factors. Below are some of the key ingredients to successfully raising capital:

• Large market opportunity
• Experienced management team
• Clear and compelling value proposition
• Proven business model
• Sustainable competitive advantages
• Demonstrated growth in the business

In addition to the most active investors in China, we also help identify other potential investors outside of China, including strategic investors. We view the capital raising process in five stages, and as your trusted advisor and partner, we leverage our experience and expertise to accelerate and maximize your chances of capital raising success. While no two companies are the same, our experience has shown that a successful fund raising effort takes at least 4-6 months. This timeline can be shortened significantly if the company is seeking a follow-on round of financing, or is well prepared and has the appropriate corporate structure in place.
