XVC Awarded “Best Early Stage Investment Institutions Voted by Entrepreneurs”, 36Kr Reports
June 9, 2023?– 36Kr unveiled its annual lists of "Best Investors/Investment Institutions Voted by Entrepreneurs", with XVC being listed as one of the "Best Early Stage Investment Institutions Voted by Entrepreneurs in 2023".
36Kr, often referred to as the "TechCrunch of China," is one of the most influential voices in the entrepreneurship ecosystem in China. With a focus on startups, venture capital, and technology trends, 36Kr serves as a trusted source of news, analysis, and insights for those seeking to stay informed about the ever-evolving landscape of technology.
In the selection process for these lists, 36Kr collected data on investment institutions through various channels, including questionnaire surveys and data platforms. They also engaged in direct communication and visits with the entrepreneur community, conducting cross-validation to ensure the credibility of the lists.
It is worth noting that, in the surveys, each fund and project managed by the investment institutions were considered as critical observation subjects. The surveys delved into individual transactions, forming a step-by-step progression across four levels: "Institution-Fund-Project-Transaction." The evaluation spanned a four-year period (2019 to 2022) and placed significant emphasis on both fundraising and investment aspects, accounting for 60% of the evaluation weight.
Apart from capital and performance, what other factors influence entrepreneurs' evaluation and selection of investors? Over the past six years, 36Kr has gathered numerous answers from countless entrepreneurs. In the 2023 "36Under36" Investor List released by 36Kr in May this year, XVC Partner Rickey Yao was awarded.
The evaluation criteria for the "36Under36" Investor List remain consistent with previous standards, focusing on investment performance and industry peer reviews. Investment performance accounts for 80% of the evaluation, while the remaining 20% is determined through mutual voting among the qualified investors.
