We admire Zhi and BVCF‘s vision - they have taken the initiative to invest in a dynamic and important field, and done so with rare ability.
Frank Torti, MD, NEA
I am most impressed with BVCF‘s independent thinking and proprietary deal sourcing. Every year, BVCF comes out with the kind of deal which can really make you think, "Darn, why did I not find this?"
Yi Shi, PhD, Lilly Asia Ventures
I took a walk by the river early one morning, and I saw the older folks practicing Tai Chi. Then I thought to myself, When I’m 80, and I’m doing Tai Chi here, what will I talk to them about? How much money is in my bank account? I want to be able to say, even if it’s to one out of tens of thousands of people, "That medicine you use, I made that."
Shen Chun, Founder and CEO of Genova
BVCF is really a value-added investment. They have been so supportive, and on behalf of the management team, I appreciate their continued support.
