Horizons Ventures is the privately-funded venture capital arm of Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, co-founded by Solina Chau. The firm invests in "enterprising science and technology companies" whose IP and ideas can "propel humanity towards a radically better future." It focuses on deep science and technology — spanning biotechnology, AI, fintech, sustainable technology, food and agriculture, and healthcare — seeking out disruptive innovations that can smash barriers to human potential and define the "next normal." Horizons is known for identifying transformative companies at early stages well before mainstream consensus, with landmark early bets including Facebook, Skype, Siri, Waze, Spotify, DeepMind, Zoom, and Impossible Foods. The firm invests globally with a predominant focus on US companies, supplemented by investments in the UK, Germany, Australia, Israel, and Southeast Asia, deploying capital from seed through later-stage rounds.
Notable quotes
“In our minds, we're always looking for the 'next normal,' when and where it will appear and what it will look like. When you come across a good investment opportunity, I try to think how I can support the founder to realize his vision.”
“Li is a true believer in building science for good. We are always thinking about the next normal, and eager to be a part of the founder's journey to make it happen.”
“Mr. Li does not participate in day-to-day review and the selection work. He loves disruptive innovations and sees it as kind of predictive lenses into the future. He loves to meet and geek with the founders and CEOs of companies within our 'disruptive' portfolio to understand their concepts and missions.”
