Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Omaha Capital China?
Founder Wally Lian serves as Chief Investment Officer and chairs the investment committee. Lian built the firm's research process around a concentrated portfolio model, leading each investment decision personally. External LPs invest alongside the firm's internal capital.
What investment stages does the firm typically target?
The firm concentrates on Series A and Series B rounds, with initial check sizes between $2 million and $10 million. It reserves capital for follow-on participation through later stages, and its crossover-style underwriting means it evaluates each position against public-market benchmarks from the first investment.
Which sectors does Omaha Capital China explicitly avoid?
The firm avoids consumer-internet and marketplace businesses where unit economics depend on subsidized customer-acquisition models. It also does not invest in real estate, hospitality, or gaming, and has historically stayed away from sectors facing unpredictable regulatory intervention in China.
What is the firm's posture on cross-border investments?
While almost all known portfolio companies are based in mainland China, the firm evaluates cross-border opportunities selectively, particularly enterprise-technology companies with regulatory pathways into Southeast Asian markets. It does not operate a dedicated cross-border fund vehicle.
