Dragonvest Partners LP (Dragonvest) is an independent venture capital firm which was founded in 2004 by Jesse Parker and Cha Li to address the gap that exists between Chinese entrepreneurs building early-stage companies and the international institutional capital that is flowing primarily to expansion and later-stage investments. Based in Shanghai, China, with an additional office in Beijing, the firm also has offices in Boston and New York in the US. Their unique advantage is their bi-lingual, bi-cultural investment strategy which allows Chinese technology companies to grow and emerge as global technology enterprises. Dragonvest has established two strategic relationships. The firm jointly reviews investment opportunities with Softbank China Venture Capital of Shanghai, with an eye toward co-investment and also works with US-based Kodiak Venture Partners to help Kodiak's portfolio companies expand into the Chinese market by identifying partnerships and potential acquisition opportunities.
