Qihoo 360 Venture Capital

Qihoo 360 Venture Capital was established in 2005 by Zhou Hongyi alongside the launch of the parent 360 Security Technology business. The vehicle functions as the corporate venture arm rather than an independent family office or multi-strategy manager. The firm allocates across venture, growth equity and select buyout opportunities. Asset classes include direct equity in startups, public positions in listed technology names and limited exposure to blockchain vehicles. Portfolio companies comprise Hozon New Energy Automobile, SiliconFlow, CyberPeace and FangCloud. Geographic activity centers on China with one international holding in Opera Software consumer assets. Co-investors have included Sequoia Capital China and IDG Capital on multiple rounds. Assets under management stand at approximately $5.5 billion according to internal records. The firm maintains two physical locations in Beijing and Shanghai. Adjacent structures include the 360 Charity Foundation, which has directed $6.2 million toward disaster relief inside China. A 2025 speaking appearance at the Power of Community Security Conference in Seoul marked the most recent disclosed external engagement. The structure remains fully integrated with the listed parent 360 Security Technology Inc., creating a direct link between operating cash flows from the cybersecurity business and the venture deployment mandate. This corporate tether distinguishes the vehicle from standalone family offices or third-party fund managers.
