Lightspeed has been investing in the China market since 2004. We believe with the country's growing GDP, its large consumer base, its huge pool of talented labor, and an increasingly favorable legal environment, China has become a compelling region for venture capital development. We hope to bring value to our Chinese entrepreneurs with our collective industry expertise and our experience in building leading businesses worldwide.

We officially opened our Shanghai office in 2006 and will continue to expand our team and presence in China in upcoming years. Lightspeed was named one of the "Top 50 Venture Capital Firms in China" in 2006 by local research firm, Zero2IPO, and was honored as one of China’s three “Top New VCs in 2007” by research firm, ChinaVenture.
