AsiaTech Mangement was founded in 1997 by veteran investor, Katherine Jen. Katherine's venture investing career began in the early 80s when she successfully led the Taiwan Government's $3 billion Development Fund. The Development Fund provided early-stage funding for some of Taiwan's most successful high-tech companies, including TSMC and Mosel-Vitelic.

Inspired by these successes in venture investments, and through her vision of creating value by matching innovative technologies and entrepreneurs with market opportunities, Katherine founded AsiaTech Management in Silicon Valley, and in early 1998, raised its first fund, the ˇ§Silicon Valley Equity Fundˇ¨. Since then, AsiaTech has a built a seasoned team of investment professionals and industry insiders with operations in Silicon Valley and Greater China. Collectively, our team includes investment bankers who have led IPOs for over two dozen technology companies in Greater China, and industry leaders who have direct executive experience with leading technology companies across the Pacific. In addition, AsiaTech has established a strong track record through successful investments in high-tech companies, including: NetScreen, Protego, CenterRun, WIDCOMM, NetLogic Microsystems, Ardentech.

With the expanding globalization of the high-tech industry, Silicon Valley and Greater China have become one integrated community for technology and market opportunities. AsiaTech has strong connections on both sides of the Pacific, and is able to bridge the gap between innovative technology and low-cost manufacturing with the AsiaTech Ecosystem. Our fund investors include some of the most prominent corporations, commercial/investment banks, and the government. Through our ecosystem, we provide access for our portfolio companies to executive level decision makers in top-tier companies to form strategic business relationships.

Our primary investment focus is early stage technology companies in both Silicon Valley and Greater China. We look for entrepreneurs with passion, dedication, knowledge, and vision. We commit our experience and resources in working closely with entrepreneurs to achieve success, thereby creating maximum value for investors.
