TRANSCRIPT

  • YEAR IN REVIEW2016

  • 2016 was a standout year for entrepreneurs in the GGV Capital ecosystem. Our portfolio companies collectively completed more than $26 billion of M&A and IPO activity, raised more than $10 billion to fuel global expansion, and completed one new IPO (BC Pharma in China). Additionally, we estimate our current portfolio of 121 private companies generated more than $9 billion of sales in 2016. We are pleased to have announced investments in 33 new companies in 2016, ranging from seed stage startups in our Discovery Fund to global players with millions of users and hundreds of millions in annual revenue. These companies are innovating in all areas of the technology ecosystem, from mobile commerce to IOT to software and cloud computing. Despite representing a broad range of stages, sectors, and geographies, these companies all share common characteristics: terrific management teams with long-term, global views and a determination to build the next great category-defining company. The year also marked expansion on a number of fronts for our firm. First, we announced the launch of GGV Capital Fund VI and our Discovery Fund with more than $1.2 billion in commitments. A big thank you to our Limited Partners for their continued support. Second, we added 16 new members to the GGV Capital team across the US and China. Each of these individuals brings a unique capability to our efforts to be the best partner for entrepreneurs on a global basis. Thank you for your continued support of GGV Capital and the entrepreneurs we work with. We look forward to working together in 2017!

  • PLATFORMS FOR THE MASSES:Unprecedented Global Growth

    In 2016, the continued widespread adoption of smartphones and the accompanying ubiquitous access to the internet led to the creation of entirely new business sectors. In addition, offline retail, banking, media and consumer hardware are in the midst of constant disruption. The demands of the middle class around the world, and especially in China as consumers come online in the millions, are creating demand for new types of goods and services worldwide.

    Technology is making life easier: finding a lost wallet with Tile, managing personal fitness with Keep, buying and selling a house with OpenDoor. Consumers have more options than ever before to buy goods or be part of global online communities such as Wish, Operator, Xiaohongshu or musical.ly. Affordable global travel is more accessible to middle class consumers with AirBnB and Ctrip. The perfect storm of billions of smartphone-connected consumers, Chinas growing consumption upgrade market, and the interconnectedness of social media has created new models and sectors to serve the mass market globally. As a result, founders with a global vision to serve the worlds middle class such as AirBnB, Ctrip, musical.ly, Wish and others have experienced unprecedented growth in the last year.

  • Grab founder and CEO Anthony Tan often talks about how his company is the new rice bowl to the drivers who use the platform, as 80% of their income comes from Grab. In 2016, Grabraised $750M, and is the leading ride-share company in South-East Asia.

  • FUTURE OF WORK:Creating New Entrepreneurs In and Out of the Office

    Innovations in the global workplace have made it easier to work smarter. Business tools such as Slack and Zendesk have upended the traditional office time sucks of email and customer service, and cloud services such as Domo use data to identify opportunities quickly. Companies like Restless Bandit and Appirio leverage data science and crowd sourcing to uncover or rediscover the most experienced person for the job.

    At the same time, people have shifted how they think about work, as on-demand platforms allow people to earn a living in their own time, on their own terms. AirBnB, Tujia, Didi and Grab let people turn assets they already own (their houses and cars) into money in their pocket. Ecommerce platforms like Alibaba, BigCommerce, and Poshmark help small businesses or individuals launch their own brands and reach buyers across the globe. ShiftGig helps businesses connect with hourly workers.

    Traditional work is evolving, with more people either taking the entrepreneurial route to craft lasting self-sufficiency, or working for companies that encourage agility and a work-hard, work-smart mindset.

    HEXAHEXA

    Vincross was created by a community of engineers and scientists with a vision for artificial life. This year, Vincross launched HEXA, the first all-terrain, sensor-based robot that is designed to learn new skills from developers or HEXA mentors.

  • 2016 brought us closer to the convergence of the real and virtual worlds. IoT, robots, self-driving vehicles, and other automation technologies are becoming part of our everyday lives. Whether you interact with computers via voice commands - such as Apples Siri or Amazons Alexa - take a ride in a self-driving shuttle bus, or wear a smartwatch, all rely on artificial intelligence, sensors, and advanced algorithms to make our lives easier.

    To make this convergence possible, underlying hardware components such as sensors, bots, and batteries become ever more important, as demonstrated by the success of Ehang, Heptagon, Immotor, Phononic, Niu and Vincross.

    Meanwhile, devices and networks will continue to process petabytes of data to automate and personalize everyday tasks, bringing matters of privacy and security to the forefront. This increases the importance of companies building next-generation cybersecurity and intelligence technologies such as Nozomi, Bitsight Technologies, AlienVault, and Synack to help identify, monitor, and manage potential threats.
