WI Harper

WI Harper leverages a distributed sourcing model across its offices in San Francisco, Beijing, and Taipei. The firm's three-decade presence in both Silicon Valley and Greater China gives it access to entrepreneurs building for global markets from both sides of the Pacific. The sourcing network relies on Peter Liu's long-standing relationships in the US venture ecosystem combined with the Beijing and Taipei teams' local market intelligence.

WI Harper historically invested from integrated funds deploying across both US and Greater China markets. However, the firm's current fund structure and any separation between regional investment vehicles is not disclosed in public records.

The firm invests from early-stage Seed and Series A rounds through expansion and later-stage growth equity. WI Harper maintains positions in portfolio companies across multiple rounds, using its multi-decade fund structure to support companies from initial investment through maturity.

WI Harper does not publicly maintain an explicit exclusion list. However, the firm's historical focus has avoided capital-intensive sectors such as heavy industry, traditional energy extraction, and defense technology. The portfolio is concentrated in information technology, digital health, and clean tech applications.

Founder and Chairman Peter Liu leads investment strategy from San Francisco, with Managing Director James Liu as a named senior investment professional. The firm's partnership structure distributes investment committee authority across the senior team in its three offices, though the full composition of the investment committee is not publicly detailed.
