AI investing

In April 2026 it backed Yuanli Semiconductor, which Crunchbase describes as a developer of AI computing power infrastructure. In July 2026 it joined RIMBOT's seed round with Topview Innovation, Baidu Ventures, Richland Capital and others. 36Kr, via KrASIA, describes RIMBOT as building foundation models for the physical world. CB Insights also lists a seed round in ModelBest in April 2026. It records a January 2026 PIPE investment in Black Sesame Technologies, a maker of AI-driven automotive chips. ZoomInfo says Summitview led that company's Series C. Tracxn counts 52 portfolio companies, and CB Insights counts 122 investments. The firm has often invested alongside other funds rather than leading rounds.
