Known for a conservative risk investment, an investment has never claimed more than 40-mile radius of the Silicon Valley company, what attracted them to China? Late last year, the largest U.S. VC (venture capital) Business Sequoia Capital (Sequoia Fund) into China's news, is generally considered a new domestic venture capital into the 2.0 phase of a landmark event, and Sequoia almost simultaneously into China, there DCM, Accel and other international mainstream venture capital.
It is understood that Sequoia China, at Beijing, Hong Kong will organize a national native leadership team, the current Sequoia China's first 200 million U.S. dollars fund has been fully funded. By the post from the outgoing president of Ctrip, the United States on and co-founded Sequoia Sequoia China Fund founder and Managing Partner Shen Peng acknowledged that the fund has already invested in the IT industry, but it is not convenient for public investment specific items and amounts.
According to informed sources, Sequoia investment into China after the first site will soon emerge that has just purchased a 100 million licenses Tang SP, the current community-based industry Qihoo search network.
VC 2.0 times more important domestic policy
China is the country most likely also the most difficult to make money in the country, figures show that of 2005, engaged in venture capital in China's domestic and foreign institutions raised a total of 4 billion U.S. dollars in new funds, while the Sequoia in the second half of 2005 and Shennan Peng, Zhang Fan (formerly DFJ Global Fund Director) with founding Sequoia China, but also by foreign media as their opponents in the Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) competition, the first to enter an important step in China, then were just hired in August last year, former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell as its strategic partner.
"The U.S. VC is interested in China since 1999, but since last year, the end of mainstream American venture capitalists have observed that some began to move. Since 1999, China's venture capital industry, though not that matured, but has entered virtuous cycle, but also a good investment exit mechanism, the industry has come out of the haze of a few years ago, more importantly, in my opinion, is unprecedented in the domestic entrepreneurial enthusiasm of the period, which should be attributed to in the grand, Baidu, Ctrip and other successful business model for entrepreneurs to bring the power. "Therefore, Shennan Peng view, despite the increased competition, risk investment strategy may also be influenced by policy," but the opportunity for investors or more a lot. "
Accel is also more localized compared to the joint fund set up China fund IDG practice, Sequoia is taken and the talented team approach. Shen Peng also said that in order to create your own Ctrip's experience, the operation of essential localization, but the wind investment in China should pay attention to the overseas experience and practice in China together, Sequoia China in this regard has to be the appropriate mechanism guarantee.
"Investors who most value the implementation of force"
"When faced with investment opportunities, the business model of inspection is important, but I fancy the implementation of entrepreneurial ability and dedication, because the business model can change with the market demand 銆?--" execution" is the Shen Peng the most important quality required entrepreneurs, venture capitalists generally very little involved in corporate decision-making, but Shen Peng admitted that Sequoia will do more to help fund start-up companies grow, included an introduction to cooperative customers, strategic planning, etc., "but we always clear , in the car driving in the final analysis is the business, we believe their active participation would be a good supplement company. "
According to informed sources, Sequoia investment into China after the first site will soon surfaced that the former president of Yahoo China, Xiang-Dong Qi leader, now a community-based industry Qihoo search network.
But Shen Peng in an interview, the Internet investment company, the most important consideration is their business execution and the entry point, "see this site is not have their own core competence, ability to find their own characteristics, positioning, and developed their own user base, as is not WEB2.0 site is not important. "He also admitted that on the odd tiger net" has been observed and contacts, "and that this form of social search, and portal users than raising experience is very helpful. "
The net area after Qihoo have confirmed that IDG will soon announce the joint venture and other funding sources, Sequoia will choose their own domestic investment as the first Internet companies, which started its domestic "Fortune Trip "I believe the answer will be given later.
