Horizons Ventures

Horizons Ventures is a Hong Kong-based venture capital firm and single-family office co-founded in 2002 by Solina Chau and Debbie Chang, with billionaire Li Ka-shing joining as principal backer in 2004. The firm focuses on investing in deep science and technology with the potential to propel humanity toward a radically better future, and has deployed over $420 million across 208 companies over more than two decades, averaging 12 new investments annually over the past decade. Check sizes typically range from $500,000 to $10 million, with investments reaching up to $20 million. Horizons Ventures leads rounds and backs companies across deep science and biotechnology, healthcare technology, sustainable technology, food and agriculture, and AI and fintech. The portfolio includes some of the most consequential technology companies of the past two decades: early investments in Facebook, Skype, Siri (acquired by Apple), Waze (acquired by Google), and Summly (acquired by Yahoo). Current unicorn holdings include Zoom and Spotify. Impossible Foods (alternative proteins) and Notpla (sustainable packaging, which raised GBP 20 million in September 2024) represent the firm's sustainable technology focus. Recent investments include Alpaca (Series D, January 2026) and Owlstone Medical ($27 million Series E, January 2025). The firm invests globally with a predominant focus on US companies, supplemented by investments in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Israel. Horizons Ventures is widely recognized for identifying transformative companies at early stages well before mainstream investor consensus, a philosophy anchored in Li Ka-shing's long-horizon conviction in fundamental scientific and technological breakthroughs.
