Bio: James Mi

In the 2000s, Mi built Google's China operation from scratch and headed up M&A where he spearheaded investments in Baidu. After five years, he jumped to Lightspeed Venture Partners, before helping found the firm's China offshoot. There, he has made early bets on Meituan-Dianping and Pinduoduo, two e-commerce giants that are now worth a combined $100 billion. Next up: video conferencing software Nemo. He made an early $5 million investment in Nemo, which added 120,000 paid customer seats in one week in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak. Mi calls it the "Zoom of China." James ranks as one of the top VCs in the world.

Bio: Rebecca A. Fannin

Rebecca A. Fannin is the founder of news and events group Silicon Dragon Ventures. Her journalistic career covering global innovation began in Silicon Valley during the dotcom era. Following the venture capital trail to Asia, she was one of the first American journalists to write about China’s entrepreneurial boom, interviewing Jack Ma of Alibaba and Robin Li of Baidu, among others. A regular media commentator and speaker, she also has frequently contributed to CNBC and Forbes, and her articles have appeared in Harvard Business Review, CEO and Inc. magazine. Rebecca’s three forward-looking books, Silicon Dragon, Startup Asia and her latest title, Tech Titans of China, are a go-to resource on top innovation trends and players. She loves new discoveries.
