YAFO Capital
Shanghai Yafo Capital Asset Management Co., Ltd (Yafo Capital) is a boutique fund management, investment, and advisory firm based in Shanghai. We also have offices in Foshan, Tel Aviv, the UK, and Silicon Valley.
Specializing in cross-border private equity transactions, Yafo Capital focuses on the high-tech sectors. We have gained a strong reputation as the go-to platform for Israeli, Silicon Valley, and other overseas high-tech companies seeking Chinese strategic partners and investors, and vice versa. Our primary focus is on venture capital investments in high-tech companies that have a “China angle” or a “China factor,” spanning from startup to pre-IPO stage. We have established the “Israel Valley” and private equity funding for various technology investments. Our parallel fund structure supports early-stage investment strategies by aligning investee companies with local resources, financing, and channel building. Additionally, our growth capital funding, in collaboration with domestic financing institutions, enables us to finance investee companies in establishing or expanding their business in China, effectively boosting growth and development in the market.
To facilitate the establishment of local partnerships in China for Israeli technology companies, we have set up the Israeli-China incubation center in Shanghai called “MCA-CITIC.” In order to encourage the influx of overseas technology partnerships through investment, we organize a biannual “Israel Valley Open Competition” and a major investment forum, providing opportunities for participants to meet and discuss collaborations.
