海银资本：在中国制造业和美国科技创业公司之间搭桥铺路

    另一方面，出售太阳能电池制造技术的初创企业1366 technologies已经和中国公司合作了一段时间，在上海设立了销售处。全球大部分太阳能电池厂商都在中国，1366 technologies正在和其中一些中国厂商进行客户测试。在赴京途中，范•米尔洛在电子邮件中表示：“中国在制造领域表现很出色，我们将从中吸取经验。”

    当然，这些初创企业得到的所有帮助也将有益于海银资本。该公司不久就会进行第四轮融资。王煜全自称不希望融资规模“过大”，但他也透露，第四轮融资额可能是第三轮的两倍。而且，海银资本有意进一步深入和初创公司融资平台网站AngelList的合作，帮助中国的投资者为在该网站寻求融资的企业提供资金支持。海银资本还计划与一家美国私募公司合作，向即将首发上市的晚期科技公司投资。

    上述十几家公司的创业者回到美国后，王煜全很快就会到美国东海岸地区考察，目的是将新的资金和他的美国投资网连接起来。尽管目前海银资本的运作规模相当小（通常只向每家公司投资几百万美元），但如果能顺利成为中国市场和美国初期科技公司之间的桥梁，海银资本有望在中美两个市场都获得丰厚回报。（财富中文网）

   Solar startup 1366—which sells solar cell manufacturing technology—on the other hand, has been working with Chinese companies for awhile and has a sales office in Shanghai. The majority of the world’s solar cell manufacturers are located in China; 1366 is in the process of customers trials with some of them. “China has done a lot of things right in manufacturing. We stand to learn from that,” 1366’s van Mierlo wrote in an email from the road.

    Of course, all of the help that the startups will get, also helps Haiyin. The firm will soon start raising its fourth fund, which Wang says could be double the size of its third fund, though he also says he doesn’t want the fund to be “too big.” In addition, the firm is also interested in partnering more deeply with AngelList to help Chinese investors fund AngelList companies. There’s also a plan to work with a U.S. private equity firm to invest in later stage pre-IPO tech companies.

    Shortly after the entrepreneurs from the ten or so companies return to the U.S., Haiyin’s Wang will make his own journey to the East Coast, looking to connect with his U.S. network on the new fund. While Haiyin is operating on a pretty small scale right now (it usually puts just a few million into each company), if it can successfully act as that connection point—between the Chinese market and U.S. early-stage tech—there could be a lot of money made on both sides the Pacific Ocean.
