## Questions

### How does Tsinghua Technology Transfer Fund source its deal flow?

The fund sources primarily through the university's formal technology transfer pipelines — patents, faculty spinouts, and graduate-led startups emerging from Tsinghua's research institutes and national laboratories. This proprietary channel is supplemented by ties to the TusPark incubator network and provincial government innovation bureaus, which funnel early-stage deep-tech companies toward the fund. The arrangement gives the firm a structurally unusual pipeline: it reviews deal flow before it reaches generalist investors, often at the proof-of-concept or seed stage (public record).

### How is the fund related to Tsinghua University and Tsinghua Holdings?

Tsinghua Technology Transfer Fund operates under the Tsinghua University umbrella, plugged into the university's formal technology transfer office and, historically, Tsinghua Holdings — the university's commercial holding entity. In 2018–2023, Tsinghua Holdings underwent a restructuring process to separate its assets from the university's balance sheet; the TTF continued as a direct investment arm focused on commercializing university IP, positioned alongside other spin-off and seed-stage vehicles (public record).

### Does the fund co-invest alongside external institutional investors?

Yes, Tsinghua Technology Transfer Fund routinely co-invests with provincial government guidance funds and state-backed entities like the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund — known colloquially as the Big Fund — especially in semiconductor and materials science deals (per Reuters, 2023). It also co-invests alongside strategic corporate partners within China's technology ecosystem, though the firm rarely discloses specific external GP relationships publicly.
