PurpleSky Capital (紫辉创投)is a China-based early-stage Venture Capital firm committed to helping very smart people turn far-flung vision into far-reaching impact. With offices in Shanghai and Beijing, PurpleSky has invested in over 50 companies since its inception. Notable successes include being the sole Angel investor for Nasdaq-listed Momo ( www.immomo.com ), one of China's leading social network apps. More recently, PurpleSky was an Angel investor in Inke (映客) ( www.Inke.com ), China's cutting-edge and explosive-growth mobile streaming video app. At PurpleSky, we believe start-up investment in China is an underexploited opportunity. A nationwide embrace of the mobile internet that cuts across demographics is opening up new markets while a widespread embrace of cloud computing is proliferating SaaS-based systems that fundamentally change the way China does business. The world’s largest population is being empowered to an unprecedented degree, inspiring a new generation to redefine the way people share and consume. The result is an ocean of untapped opportunity for those with the ambition and discipline to harness it. PurpleSky backs the visionary entrepreneurs leading these profound transitions. We share their curiosity and spirit of adventure. We enter angel-early, supporting smart bets with high potential returns that will positively impact the world. We treasure an outstanding track record of getting these bets right, having in five years already picked and assisted some of China’s most successful start-up businesses. We do it through insightful screening, immersive research, and ahead-of-trend insights into technology and the way people wish to use it.
