Hao Xiong brings an unusually research-heavy background to venture capital as a former NIST scientist who authored dozens of engineering papers before becoming a VC, combined with education from three elite institutions spanning Chinese engineering (Tsinghua), U.S. technical depth (Vanderbilt Ph.D.), and Western business training (Yale MBA). He serves as both Partner and General Manager of Sinovation Ventures' Southern China office, focusing on sustainability tech, advanced manufacturing, and supply chain investments while managing regional operations across the Greater Bay Area.

Notable Investments
Sinovation Ventures is one of the earliest AI-focused VC firms in China with over half of its 300+ portfolio companies being AI companies, built around Kai-Fu Lee's hybrid background as an AI researcher, big-tech operator at Google China, and investor. The firm operates a dual-currency structure at roughly $2B AUM and positions itself as both a startup investor and implementation partner that helps traditional Chinese companies become AI-driven companies, functioning more like a hybrid of VC and AI transformation consultancy than a classic passive investor.
