In 2021, as the global economy entered a period of recovery, China’s venture capital industry actively embraced change. Investors and institutions sought new opportunities arising from the rebound, demonstrating both insight and resolve. While generating financial returns, they also contributed to technological innovation and industrial transformation in China and beyond.

This year, Fortune (China) continued its collaboration with Zero2IPO Research to produce the annual ranking of the “30 Most Influential Investors in China.” The evaluation incorporated multiple criteria, including the investor’s firm category, assets under management, the number and stage of portfolio companies, exit performance, public market valuations, and broader market influence. Based on these comprehensive metrics, the list recognizes the 30 most influential investors in China’s VC/PE landscape since 2020.

Alan Song, Founder, Managing Partner, and Chairman of Harvest Capital, was selected as one of the “30 Most Influential Investors in China.”
