About The Fund

H&Q Asia Pacific (H&QAP) is a distinguished private equity firm that has been actively investing in Asia and the United States since 1985. With a focus on a diversified array of sectors including technology, branded consumer products, financial services, software, IT, media, business solutions, FinTech, hardware manufacturing, energy, IoT, HealthTech, Food & Beverage, logistics, aerospace, and defense, H&QAP demonstrates a robust dedication to fostering growth in dynamic industries. The firm boasts a reputable history, having been established by Dr. Ta-lin Hsu as a division of Hambrecht & Quist—a revered U.S. technology investment bank—in 1985. Distinguishing itself, H&QAP spun off as a separate entity from its founding company in 1996 and has since managed more than $3.4 billion in committed capital through a portfolio of 29 funds, with investments in over 400 companies. The fund's investment strategy involves both later-stage control investments and earlier-stage venture capital investments, with a specific focus on ventures that present strong cross-border potential, primarily between Asia and the U.S., but also extending to other regions such as Israel. H&Q Asia Pacific is well-regarded for its vast experience of over 34 years in cross-border strategy across Asia and maintains a keen investment philosophy centered on identifying high-potential commercial opportunities. H&QAP is committed to partnering closely with its portfolio companies to fully realize their untapped potential and strives to assist them in emerging as global business leaders. With assets under management totaling approximately $3.4 billion and an experienced team at the helm, H&QAP continues to influence the market and contribute to the shaping of the technology venture landscape both in Silicon Valley and across the Asia-Pacific region.
