Taishan Invest AG is proud to announce its award as 'Most Respectable Angel
Fund in China' by Founders Magazine, a highly influential magazine in the
entrepreneurs' and investors' circle.
Since its foundation in 2008, Taishan Invest AG has established a
remarkable track-record in China's Angel and Early Stage Investment
Industry. It has also proven for the first time that a Business Angel Fund
in China is able to hit high returns on investments. With this
track-record, Taishan is able to attract the best entrepreneurs to start
their ventures as partnerships from the first day.
Taishan Invest AG has invested in more than 15 companies and already
realized (partial) exits in 3 ventures. The current portfolio companies
include.
www.lashou.com - China's No. 1 GroupBuying website that has accomplished
its Series C financing last month at a company valuation of more than 1,1bn
USD. Taishan was Lashou's first investor in 2010 and actively supported
their growth from 20 employees and a few hundred thousand RMB of revenue to
more than 3000 employees and an annual run rate of several hundred million
USD today.
www.vipstore.com - China's No. 1 luxury flash sales company with a business
model similar to Gilt or Vente Privee. Taishan co-founded the company with
a top class management end of 2009 from scratch. Today, more than 150 in
China, the US and Europe are employed and their annual run rate is a
significant 2 digit million USD amount showing strong growth on a month by
month basis.
www.ushi.cn - China's No. 1 social business website that has the potential
to become the LinkedIn of China. Taishan is a Founding Member and supported
the company from its first day.
www.marry10.com - a leading one-stop-shop for weddings. More than 10
million couples get married in China every year; Marry10 offers them the
best solutions from choosing their wedding locations, their wedding photo
shootings and buying their wedding dresses.
'If you look at the current developments in China, it is obvious that the
GDP growth shows a lot of potential - moreover, the number of internet and
mobile users who like to spend time and money online is rapidly increasing.
This makes it very interesting for us to invest into the growing online
consumer spending. Of course, it is also a highly complex and competitive
market but we have build a great network and track-record in this area,
which helps us to make our portfolio companies grow faster than the
competition', said Sebastian Kübler, Founding Partner of Taishan Invest AG.
