中科创星李浩：中国硬科技投资远远不够，持续关注底层创新丨最前线

Core Viewpoint - China's hard technology investment is not overheated but is significantly insufficient, requiring collective efforts from society to enhance the financial system's confidence and understanding of technology [1] Group 1: Investment Landscape - Zhongke Chuangxing, founded in 2013, is a pioneer in hard technology investment, focusing on the transformation of excellent scientific research achievements from research institutions and universities [1] - As of June this year, the fund's managed scale exceeds 12 billion yuan, having invested in and incubated over 530 hard technology companies [1] - Zhongke Chuangxing maintains a rapid investment pace despite the contraction of dollar funds and difficulties in GP fundraising [1] Group 2: Investment Strategy - Zhongke Chuangxing is one of the fastest institutions in the market, with last year's project count equivalent to the total of 30 GPs [2] - The firm employs a unique risk-hedging logic, emphasizing a large project pool to diversify risks, where 50 out of 100 projects may fail, but top projects can cover losses [2] - The company is particularly focused on the AI sector, which, despite being hot, is still in its early development stage, and values breakthroughs in underlying technologies such as quantum computing and controlled nuclear fusion [2] Group 3: Long-term Vision - Hard technology investments require "patient capital," with many projects co-invested with local future industry funds due to long investment cycles that can last up to 20 years [2] - Zhongke Chuangxing aims to balance long-term value with short-term exits by constructing a "research-incubation-industry" flywheel, binding early with research projects and later introducing industrial capital [2] - The company emphasizes the need for more "last-mile" participants to improve the low conversion rate of China's scientific and technological achievements [3]
