About Bonanza

Background

Bonanza provides equity capital for early stage and expanding technology companies in high-growth areas particularly in Mainland of PRC. Established in 1999, Bonanza has hands-on high tech investment experience, mainly in telecommunication, internet service and software. Venture Capital in our view is the business of investing financial and human capital in partnership with management to create new businesses and expand existing ones. Thus, we view our role as helping management teams build companies, not as financial investors per se. For our investors, we are finding bonanzas to enlarge their fortune and for early-stage enterprises, we are exploiting them into bonanzas to create and increase the value.

Our logo, a bronze tiger emblem, was used for military command in Qin dynasty more than 2300 years ago. The tiger could be divided into 2 equal parts. With only holding one part of the tiger emblem, the general could not command any troops more than 50 solders except emergency situation with beacon until the other one which was holding by the emperor appeared and matched this one.

The tiger logo implies that Bonanza is preparing, arranging and allocating any and all of the financial, experiential, technological and industrial resources to help our portfolio companies get every opportunity to realize their full potential.

Investment strategy

Bonanza understands early stage companies, which is why we have no absolute set of financial or operating criteria to be fulfilled before a company can benefit from becoming part of the Bonanza investment portfolio. Each prospective Bonanza investment is judged on its own merits and on the potential it provides for a mutually rewarding relationship.

Bonanza seeks to back strong management teams imbued with entrepreneurial enthusiasm and the vision to build a highly successful company. As well as the business model must work and the company plan should make sense.

Industry Segments where we concentrate for Early Stage investments are:

  • Information Technology
  • Telecommunications
  • Companies in other sectors which offer the potential of rapid growth and high profitability

For Later Stage opportunities, we are far more broad-based, seeking companies ranging from technology to non-technology, from basic manufacturing to service businesses.

Bonanza invests in a mix of early and later stage companies, or companies ranging from an idea and a founder/partial management team to companies with revenue, profits, a complete team and the need for expansion capital or change of control.

The size of investment is flexible from RMB 0.5 million up to RMB 20 million initially.

Bonanza is not a short-term investor, but a provider of "patient" capital. At Bonanza, we typically look to realize our investments in three to seven years and both Bonanza Investment and our strategic partners always have an eye to the long term. So whatever stage your business is at, talk to us because we have the resources to commit to your future and to provide your enterprise with the level of value-added investment you need, when and as you need it.
