Why Us

Operator depth for the deep tech founders we back.

Two decades of running real businesses inform every check we write. For deep tech founders, that means an operating bench most funds can’t match: direct Asia market access, manufacturing and regulatory pattern recognition, and a live distribution motor. See how we partner →

How We Help

Four progressively deeper ways to engage.

Founders engage Yan Ventures and our operating partner at four levels of depth, determined by fit with our investment thesis and product catalog. See the full partnership model →

01

Candid operator feedback.

A working conversation with a team that has actually run the kind of business you’re building. Open to any company that reaches out.

02

Customer discovery & PMF validation.

Our operating partner’s sales team surveys real pharma, biotech, CRO, and CDMO buyers across Asia to test live demand.

03

Product demos in Asia.

Hands-on demos with end users at CDMOs and pharma companies in one of the world’s largest biopharma markets.

04

Asia distribution partnership.

Our operating partner becomes your commercial motor across Asia: regulatory, logistics, sales, and customer success.

Get in touch

More than a check. More than a deck.

We hold concentrated, move at founder speed, and bring twenty years of operator depth across biopharma, manufacturing, and cross-border execution. If you’re building deep tech toward a long-term problem that matters, send us a paragraph. We respond the same week.
