About Forbes China’s “Best Venture Capital” List The Forbes China “Best Venture Capital” selection has been conducted for over a decade. The list aims to identify China’s most forward‑looking fund investors who deliver substantial returns. For the 2019 edition, Forbes China again applied its established evaluation principles, focusing on the performance of both exited and non‑exited projects over the past five years (January 1, 2015 – October 31, 2019).

The ranking methodology is based primarily on the development of venture investors’ exited and non‑exited projects during this five‑year period, as well as their degree of involvement and contribution to these investments.
