Horizons Ventures
Horizons Ventures manages $3B in early-stage venture capital for the Li Ka-shing family from its Hong Kong base.
Horizons Ventures
Horizons Ventures was established in 2002 by Li Ka-shing with Solina Chau and Debbie Chang as co-founders. The wealth originated from Li’s control of Cheung Kong and CK Hutchison, which built positions in property, ports, infrastructure and telecommunications. The firm pursues early-stage venture capital with exposure to technology, media, fintech and health. It deploys via direct co-investments and SPVs across seed, start-up, growth and late stages. Confirmed positions include Blockstream and Bakkt. Geographic coverage spans Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Central Asia and Oceania. AUM stands at $3B. The firm maintains its headquarters in Hong Kong and supports the Li Ka Shing Foundation for philanthropic activity. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The office maintains a hybrid structure that combines family capital with direct venture deployment, allowing it to participate alongside external GPs while retaining control over allocation decisions.
