Enlight Growth Partners

Enlight Growth Partners

Perry Chui launched Enlight Growth Partners (EGP) in November 2017, effectively spinning out the Shanghai investment team of Steamboat Ventures, the venture arm of The Walt Disney Company. The firm is anchored in Shanghai and invests exclusively across Greater China. Unlike a seed-stage generalist, EGP operates as a sector-focused growth capital investor, concentrating on enterprise-facing companies in its four chosen verticals. EGP targets early-growth and growth-stage companies in Supply Chain, Data and Fintech, SaaS, and IoT. The firm writes equity checks for startups that have moved past product-market risk and need capital to scale operations and revenue. The predecessor team’s track record includes Gridsum, Aihuishou, Quhuo, and Wosai Technology, among the more than 20 names disclosed on the firm’s website. While EGP does not publicly detail its fund structure, its description as a growth capital fund and its operation as a limited partnership suggest a conventional blind-pool vehicle making direct equity investments, without an explicit fund-of-funds or SPV-driven approach. EGP lists an 11-person team with eight investment professionals organized under Chui and a separate three-person operations group. No additional offices, philanthropic entities, or co-investment clubs are publicly disclosed. As of 2026, the firm has not published an updated vehicle close or headcount change; its public record remains anchored to the original 2017 founding facts and a legacy portfolio that is no longer itemized as live positions on the current website. EGP’s structural differentiator is the continuity of its team and thesis. Chui lifted out a working Shanghai-based investment unit and continued the same B2B specialist strategy without the constraints of a US-based corporate venture parent. That narrow sector focus — never straying outside its four named verticals — makes the firm a single-decision allocator for LPs seeking a pure-play, non-consumer China growth capital manager.
