Kuan Capital is a China-based investment and merchant banking firm that provides funding and resources to cross-border joint ventures between China and the rest of the world.   China is the world's largest market for global technology and innovations.  After 40 years of rapid economic development, it is trying to leapfrog from a manufacturing and exporting economy to an innovative and digitized nation.  Chinese firms will spend more than $500 billion seeking global science and technologies in the next ten years.  Many MNCs have benefited for years by taking advantage of China's huge market, talent pool, and fast-paced manufacturing and industrial infrastructure.   However, most young and fast-growing technology companies outside of China today are not able to do business with China due to a lack of funding, reliable partners, and effective market entry strategies.   

We established Co-Innovation with China Investment Model that addresses the difficulties of conducting business with China, such as cross-border capital raising, intellectual property protection and alignment of interests.  We even created a new class of investable asset, China Country Rights ("CCR") which allows global technology stakeholders to obtain much-needed capital, professional services, and reliable partnerships before venturing into China.  CCR is a special purpose vehicle ("SPV") formed outside of China, which has the exclusive rights to conduct all business activities with Chinese companies including capital raising, co-development, technology licensing, manufacturing, and exporting.  In addition, CCR is an important bridge between co-innovation partners in forming long-term partnerships, solving cultural differences and targeting the global market jointly.
