Frequently asked questions
How does MIH source proprietary deal flow in climate technology?
MIH's sourcing model relies on its Asia-Pacific supply chain network and the institutional relationships Yen cultivated during his operating and banking career in Greater China. The firm pre-qualifies introductions to manufacturers, OEMs, and strategic incumbents across Taiwan, mainland China, and Southeast Asia — a channel that surfaces startups seeking not just capital but the manufacturing and distribution partners needed to scale hardware and materials businesses.
Does MIH invest in project-finance-style climate infrastructure, or only in venture-stage companies?
MIH explicitly favors asset-light technology businesses that enable the energy transition rather than project developers requiring balance-sheet capital. Its portfolio — which includes geothermal drilling technology (XGS Energy), electrochemical CO₂ conversion (OCOchem), and hydrometallurgical battery recycling (Ace Green Recycling) — reflects a focus on companies whose products can benefit from Asia-Pacific manufacturing partnerships rather than firms building and operating large physical plants as their primary business model.
