Business angels in China: characteristics, policies and international comparison

Jiani Wang, Yi Tan and Manhong Liu

Chapter 9 in Handbook of Research on Business Angels, 2016, pp 201-232 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter elaborates on the business angel (BA) market in China, which has developed significantly since its emergence at the end of the 1990s. The increasing numbers of successful cashed-out entrepreneurs emerging from the Internet and high-tech has resulted in the emergence of angel investment. Currently, there are numerous angel groups and matchmaking services that have served to enhance the market. The authors show that the investment behavior of Chinese BAs is very similar to that in western countries, but Chinese BAs are younger, invest more infrequently and lack an understanding of BA investing. The authors also emphasize the need to understand the role of the government in the BA market in improving the regulation and environment of BA investments.
