About TAY Choon Chong (郑俊聪)

TAY Choon Chong left GIC to found and lead Vertex Ventures China from its 2009 launch, and under him the firm made early bets on companies like SES AI, Horizon Robotics, Geek+, Mobike, SemiDrive, AnHeart, Lightelligence, and Unitree, often staying involved through multiple funding rounds, such as backing SemiDrive from Pre-A through B. He talks about China building its own semiconductors, computing power, and EV chips instead of relying on imports, and has said he believes Unitree could grow into a trillion-yuan company as part of Vertex's aim for a 1000x return.

Rounds
Avg Check Size

Vertex Ventures China's founding team has worked together for more than 15 years, which is unusual in Chinese venture capital and has led to a long-running, consistent investment style rather than a newly formed partnership; the firm invests across both deep tech and biomedicine, backing companies like Horizon Robotics, Geek+, SemiDrive, Harbour BioMed, and AnHeart instead of focusing on a single trend. Each partner takes on only 1-2 investments per year so they can spend more time closely helping each company with strategy, hiring, and fundraising, while stopping short of taking over management decisions themselves.
