Focus statement

“执一资本专注于科技创新和产业升级的投资机会，重点关注数字化方向的企业服务、产业互联网及其底层的核心硬科技，包括安全、大数据和云、人工智能、机器人、软件等。” (YI Capital focuses on technological innovation + industrial upgrading, especially digital enterprise services, industry internet and underlying hard-core technologies such as security, big data & cloud, AI, robotics and software.)

Value Add

LP network of FoFs, domestic and international listed companies and successful entrepreneurs that provide "丰富的项目源" (rich deal sourcing) and "宝贵的行业资源和第一手的创业经验及产业经验" (valuable industry resources and first‑hand entrepreneurial/industry experience).
Founding partners and investment team have deep operating and sector experience across TMT, industrial internet, consumer upgrade, real estate/residential and fintech — enabling domain expertise in sourcing and diligence (e.g., team bios list prior roles at 鼎晖, 华登, and hands‑on operator experience).
Explicit dual focus on both 'technology innovation' and '产业升级' (industry upgrading), signaling a preference for startups that solve real industry pain points rather than pure consumer plays.
Portfolio demonstrates breadth across enterprise software, security, AI, IoT/smart home, logistics and proptech (examples: 贝壳/BEKE, 闪送/ShanSong, 创米/Imilab, 商越/Sunyur, 数睿/Smardaten, 威努特/Winicssec, 华云安/Huaun, 远鉴/Fosafer).
