Youdu Capital · Primary-Market Financing Method
1. Does the financing stage match?
Different types of Chinese institutions have different requirements for product maturity, revenue scale, growth rate and exit path. Companies should first confirm their own stage, then screen for institutions that are genuinely a fit.
2. Is the industry direction inside the institution's circle of competence?
Institutions have different depths of understanding across AI, advanced manufacturing, life sciences or enterprise services. The same sector label doesn't mean the same investment logic — you need to look further into their existing portfolio, team experience and decision priorities.
3. Do regional and industrial resources actually coordinate?
Local government funds, market-driven funds and industrial capital have different objectives. Companies should assess whether the resources behind the capital genuinely help their development, based on registration location, R&D and capacity footprint, customer distribution and supply-chain needs.
4. Is the use of funds clear enough?
Financing should serve real business milestones — technology validation, capacity building, market expansion or organizational upgrades — not simply chase a higher valuation.
- Define the financing amount and the key milestones it maps to
- Explain the relationship between capital, industrial partners and customer resources
- Be ready for due diligence, governance and ongoing information disclosure
