Jui Tan started his career on the engineering side at IBM and Singapore Telecom before moving into venture capital, and he was specifically brought in to start BlueRun's China operations in 2005, then stayed committed to Chinese AI investing even as US GPU export controls made others hesitant. A Singaporean based in Beijing, he has backed companies ranging from Meilishuo and Guazi/Chehaoduo early on to Li Auto, Moonshot/Kimi, Genspark, Agibot, and Galbot more recently, and he now describes his fund as fully focused on AI and robotics, including multimodal models and robotics applications in manufacturing.
About their Fund
Lanchi Ventures centers its strategy on the belief that Chinese technical talent is a globally underestimated asset, a view its managing partner developed from working with Chinese founders in Silicon Valley since 2000, and it applies this through a dual-currency approach—an RMB fund backing frontier tech aligned with Chinese national priorities and a USD fund backing global AI themes and internationally competitive Chinese talent—while deliberately capping its 2026 fund at $560M to stay agile rather than maximize size. The firm invests across foundation models, AI agents, and embodied intelligence, emphasizes full-stack technology paired with real-world deployment in robotics, follows promising companies like Galbot and AGIBOT through multiple funding rounds rather than making single early bets, and positions Hong Kong as a bridge that helps Greater Bay Area technology scale internationally.
