Venture Capital Jobs and Internships at Cathay Innovation

We’ve written a new venture capital playbook – a global platform that unifies tech investment across continents, investors, entrepreneurs and leading corporations to accelerate innovative startups even further and stronger onto the global stage. As a multistage fund with offices across San Francisco, New York, Paris, Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore, we invest in startups positively impacting the world through technology.

Investing globally

We invest in startups at the center of the digital revolution across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

We work with visionary and mission driven teams to help them grow and lead markets.

We back startups at the inflection point of growth, with revenues between $5M to $20M, that will benefit from guidance on refining the company, maximizing performance and creating long lasting value. 

Our initial check sizes range from $5M to $40M. We can lead or follow, and keep reserves for follow-on investments. 

We leverage the larger social evolutions at play, taking into account a startup’s contribution towards sustainability, analyzing the global competitive landscape, and integrating the insights of our Fortune 500 ecosystem.

Investing for good

We built our strategy around the idea that the future of venture capital, startups, incumbent companies, and innovating for good — is converging.

A startup’s contribution to sustainability is a critical component to our investment philosophy, taking into account various issues such as economic growth, social interests and safeguarding the planet.

How we started

Cathay Innovation is a global venture capital partnership, created in affiliation with Cathay Capital. Our story began in 2015 when Cathay Capital Founder and serial entrepreneur Mingpo Cai met Denis Barrier, a French venture capitalist and innovator in his field. Together, they infused the Cathay Capital platform with venture capital.
