VENTURE CAPITAL REPORT VENTURE CAPITAL REPORT

The following report presents Dow Jones VentureSource’s quarterly findings for Chinese venture capital fundraising, investment, valuation, and liquidity. The included charts and graphs offer a comprehensive view of the trends currently affecting the venture capital market.

Highlights for 1Q 2018 include: • venture capital fundraising increased in both amount raised and the number of funds; • Amount flowed into venture backed Chinese companies increased, although the deal number dropped; • Amount raised through (M&As) declined; while capital raised via initial public offerings (IPOs) climbed.

VENTURE CAPITAL REPORT 2 GROWTH EQUITY

Starting this quarter, we are reporting on Growth Equity. VentureSource has always tracked this space, but until now they were excluded from the quarterly statistics. Please note that Growth deals will be included in the Later Stage category, a subsection of Venture Capital Investment. We define Growth Equity as a minority stake investment in privately owned, mature companies that meet the following criteria:

• No prior equity investment within the first 3 years of business operations; and • A proven business model -- generating revenue or profitable; and • No VC-type round series is used by the company to label the transaction; and • At least one participated in the deal.

We recently reviewed our entire database to ensure that all companies and transactions are classified consistent with the above criteria. As a result of this review, we re-characterized thousands of historical deals from VC to Growth, or from Growth to VC. As with our Venture Capital statistics, we exclude companies formed for the sole purpose of acquiring other companies, properties, natural resources, or interests. We also exclude companies formed or owned by firms.
