Key Challenges We Address

Fundraising pressure reshapes private-capital playbooks

Private-market fundraising remains subdued as LPs favour established managers; foreign direct investment into China fell 27.1% in 2024 to RMB 826.3 billion.
Against this tighter capital base, YCP sizes addressable LP pools, sharpens fund positioning and builds fundraising plans linking strategy, governance and pipeline.

Slower IPO exits extend holding periods and return cycles

Mainland exchanges recorded 100 IPOs in 2024, 68% fewer than in 2023, while proceeds fell about 81% to RMB 67.4 billion, extending exit timelines.
With public listings less dependable, YCP maps trade-sale, secondary and continuation-fund routes, prioritising assets and readiness actions to protect value.

Policy and cross-border rules complicate investment choices

Restrictions on certain US investments in China’s advanced semiconductors, quantum technologies and AI took effect in January 2025, increasing screening demands for global GPs.
YCP translates policy shifts into sector screens, diligence protocols and operating scenarios, enabling investment teams to pursue compliant opportunities confidently.

Hard-tech bets require longer paths to commercial scale

China spent RMB 3.61 trillion on R&D in 2024, or 2.68% of GDP, yet deep-tech ventures still require patient capital, specialised talent and scalable demand.
YCP combines market validation, unit-economics modelling and ecosystem mapping to focus portfolios on viable use cases, partnerships and value-creation milestones.
