Oceanpine Capital Hits $200Mn First Close of Fund II

BEIJING, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- This is the first time Oceanpine has sought funding from external LPs since its inception in 2016. That year, the firm set up its $400 million debut fund using internal capital. Founder Dave Chenn, who previously established a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate company - China Century Group in 2005, has participated as an LP in 15 technology-focused venture capital and private equity funds, and has co-invested in a number of highly successful deals.

The first closing LPs included prominent technology entrepreneurs, asset management allocators, family offices, and seasoned Midas List venture capitalists.

Oceanpine has invested $500 million across more than 20 companies in both China and the US. Among them are AI computing-power specialist Enflame Technology, Ansun Biopharma, Horizon Robotics, Black Sesame, and US graphical database platform TigerGraph. Fund I has been fully invested and has secured two full exits and two IPO with 45% DPI. Three more companies will file for IPO in the next twelve months.

Oceanpine is conservatively, yet quite confidently, targeting an IRR of more than 30% for Fund II, which will follow DeepTech-focused remit of its predecessor. About $100 million has already been deployed across six deals, including a Series B for Enflame, drug developer Apexigen, Enterprise Software provider XforcePlus, chip software supplier ARM China and a top semiconductor company in China. Three companies are expected to go public next year.
