Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at DGC?
Founder Li Lin retains final authority on investment decisions. His background as a former Tencent executive informs the firm's thesis-driven approach to Chinese technology startups. The firm operates a single-GP governance structure common among founder-led Chinese VC firms.
What investment stages does DGC typically target?
DGC focuses on early-stage venture and growth-equity rounds, often writing first institutional checks into Chinese technology companies. The firm participates across seed, Series A, and follow-on rounds when portfolio companies require additional capital through to their pre-IPO stages.
Which sectors does DGC explicitly avoid?
DGC does not publicly disclose a formal exclusion list, but its portfolio concentration in enterprise software, AI, and fintech suggests limited interest in capital-intensive sectors such as heavy industry, energy extraction, or real estate development. The firm's activity is concentrated in asset-light technology businesses.
How does DGC source proprietary deal flow?
DGC accesses deal flow primarily through Li Lin's Tencent alumni network and long-standing relationships within Shenzhen's technology ecosystem. The firm's Pearl River Delta location provides proximity to hardware supply chains and startup clusters that are less saturated by Beijing- and Shanghai-based venture firms.
Is DGC structured as a single family office or a venture firm?
DGC operates as a venture capital firm, not a family office. The firm raises capital from external limited partners and deploys it into portfolio companies with the goal of generating financial returns, distinct from the wealth-preservation mandate of a single-family office structure.
