TEEC Angel Fund III, LLC

TEEC Angel Fund III is a venture capital fund structured as an LLC, part of the TEEC (Tsinghua Entrepreneur and Executive Club) network of funds. Founded by alumni of Tsinghua University, the fund has made multiple investments in US-based startups, including in AI, robotics, and clean energy, according to public records and Crunchbase. The fund typically targets seed and Series A rounds, participating alongside other angel syndicates and institutional VCs. The fund's sector focus spans enterprise software, climate technology, and digital health, with portfolio companies such as Pony.ai (autonomous driving) and other undisclosed deep-tech ventures. Geographically, TEEC Angel Fund III invests primarily in the United States, with some exposure to China via cross-border startups. The fund operates as a traditional venture vehicle, making direct equity investments and occasionally participating in follow-on rounds. Team size is not publicly disclosed. The fund has not reported a recent operational event in the last 24 months, though its predecessor funds have been active in the Silicon Valley angel ecosystem. No adjacent vehicles—such as foundations or operating companies—are known for this entity. The structural differentiator is its connection to the broader TEEC network, which provides deal flow from Chinese-American entrepreneur communities and cross-border technical expertise. This gives the fund a unique sourcing advantage for startups with dual US-China founders or supply chains, though such terms are not publicly detailed.
