YEAR IN REVIEW
2014 WAS ALL ABOUT…PEOPLE
Why are there so many smiling entrepreneurs throughout these
pages? Aside from being world-class optimists, entrepreneurs
feed off the energy of the companies they are building and the
industries they are changing.
For example: Alibaba, Wish, and Houzz are revolutionizing the
way consumers buy and sell products globally. GrabTaxi, Flight-
Car, and Didi-Dache are forever changing how people think
about transportation. And Misfit, Ehang, Tile, and Zepp are at
the forefront of the global Internet of Things movement.
Every smiling entrepreneur represents not only an idea, a suc-
cess story, a market forever altered – but also the hard work of
the thousands of people employed at their companies. As you
read through this Year in Review, be sure to check out some
of their incredible stories. We are thrilled these teams have al-
lowed GGV Capital to be part of their success, and we couldn’t
be more excited to see what they will accomplish in 2015.
We began the year with the closing of GGV Capital Fund V,
our $620 million global venture capital fund. Over the course
of 2014, we investsed $250 million into 52 companies (across
Funds III, IV, and V), 36 of which are new to the GGV portfolio.
This is consistent with prior years and reflects our strategy of
investment in category-leading companies across the US and
China.
Two of our portfolio companies completed initial public offer-
ings (IPOs), Zendesk (NYSE: ZEN) and Alibaba Group (NYSE:
BABA). Alibaba’s IPO was the largest in history at over $25
billion, and both companies have performed very well since
their offerings. Additionally, our private portfolio companies
collectively raised more than $2.3 billion in new financing
during 2014, creating a strong foundation for future growth.
THE MANAGING PARTNERS OF GGV CAPITAL
GGV Capital Year in Review 2014
Anthony Tan has built GrabTaxi, the leading mobile taxi
app in Southeast Asia, at a breakneck pace. GrabTaxi
averages more than three bookings per second on its
platform and raised more than $300 million in growth
capital during 2014.
MOBILE EVERYWHERE
The world is approaching 2 billion smartphone
users, and more people now access the Internet
via mobile than PC. In fact, more people in the
world now use a mobile phone than use a tooth-
brush. We are aggressively working to invest in
companies pursuing this incredible global trend.
Peter Szulczewski and Danny Zhang created Wish to
meet the rising mobile shopping demands of consumers
around the world. One of the fastest-growing players in
mobile commerce, Wish has more than 35 million active
users, half of which use the app at least once a week.
BRIDGING THE US AND CHINA
The U.S. and China are the two largest economies
in the world, and the fastest-growing consumer
technology markets are in China, India and South-
east Asia. We look for companies thinking globally
from day one, and leverage our deep knowledge,
experience, and relationships to help drive success
in these markets.
Adi Tatarko and Alon Cohen started Houzz in 2009 after
a frustrating home remodeling experience. Five years
later, Houzz is the largest online renovation and design
community with more than 25 million monthly active
users and 600 thousand professionals on the platform.
GLOBAL COMMERCE
Global e-commerce continues to rise, reaching
more than $600 billion in 2014. Mobile commerce,
growing a breakneck pace, will comprise nearly
half of all e-commerce by 2018. The fastest-grow-
ing and most innovative commerce and service
platforms are being developed around highly
engaged communities with high-quality content
and social features.
Justin Luo and Melissa Yang founded Tujia when they
saw rising demand but under-utilized supply of vacation
homes in China, the world’s largest travel market. Tujia,
which offers both online listings and offline services, is
now China’s leading vacation rental platform and raised
more than $100 million in growth capital during 2014.
SHARING EVERYTHING
Mobile and social have grown up together, so it’s
no surprise that mobile activity centers around
sharing. Mobile is enabling people to share every-
thing from knowledge to experiences to physical
resources - all in real-time. We are working with
entrepreneurs creating these new economies and
communities.
Sonny Vu, John Sculley and Sridhar Iyengar founded
Misfit in 2011 to develop fashion- and design-focused
wearables. Misfit now has a presence in more than 21
thousand retail locations in 50 countries and raised a
growth capital round of financing from GGV, Xiaomi,
and others in 2014.
EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED
Mobile is no longer just about smartphones and
tablets. By 2018 we expect to see more than 10
billion connected “IoT” devices worldwide, and
connectivity and data will be ubiquitous. We are
investing aggressively in the entrepreneurs help-
ing to create and drive this market forward.
As former CEO of Omniture, Josh James saw the
unrealized potential for big data to drive decision-
making in businesses. He founded Domo to build the
ultimate business dashboard, and in 2014 the company
saw 100% year-over-year growth.
ON CLOUD NINE
Cloud computing has revolutionized the $1 trillion
enterprise technology market. This massive shift,
however, is still in its infancy. Innovative entre-
preneurs are creating massive opportunities in
applications, mobile, security and infrastructure
platforms.
Mike McCue and Evan Doll created Flipboard in 2010 to
make digital, mobile content and advertising as elegant
and beautiful as the best in print. With more than 130
million users worldwide, Flipboard has become a daily
habit for readers in the U.S., China and around the world.
CONTENT THAT CAPTIVATES
Digital media has steadily been overtaking tradi-
tional media for mindshare. In the US, the average
person spends more time each day on their mo-
bile device than watching TV. High quality digital
content has become the foundation for building
engaged users, creating online communities, and
driving online and mobile commerce.

GGV Capital Year in Review 2014

  • 2. 2014 WAS ALL ABOUT…PEOPLE Why are there so many smiling entrepreneurs throughout these pages? Aside from being world-class optimists, entrepreneurs feed off the energy of the companies they are building and the industries they are changing. For example: Alibaba, Wish, and Houzz are revolutionizing the way consumers buy and sell products globally. GrabTaxi, Flight- Car, and Didi-Dache are forever changing how people think about transportation. And Misfit, Ehang, Tile, and Zepp are at the forefront of the global Internet of Things movement. Every smiling entrepreneur represents not only an idea, a suc- cess story, a market forever altered – but also the hard work of the thousands of people employed at their companies. As you read through this Year in Review, be sure to check out some of their incredible stories. We are thrilled these teams have al- lowed GGV Capital to be part of their success, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what they will accomplish in 2015. We began the year with the closing of GGV Capital Fund V, our $620 million global venture capital fund. Over the course of 2014, we investsed $250 million into 52 companies (across Funds III, IV, and V), 36 of which are new to the GGV portfolio. This is consistent with prior years and reflects our strategy of investment in category-leading companies across the US and China. Two of our portfolio companies completed initial public offer- ings (IPOs), Zendesk (NYSE: ZEN) and Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA). Alibaba’s IPO was the largest in history at over $25 billion, and both companies have performed very well since their offerings. Additionally, our private portfolio companies collectively raised more than $2.3 billion in new financing during 2014, creating a strong foundation for future growth. THE MANAGING PARTNERS OF GGV CAPITAL
  • 4. Anthony Tan has built GrabTaxi, the leading mobile taxi app in Southeast Asia, at a breakneck pace. GrabTaxi averages more than three bookings per second on its platform and raised more than $300 million in growth capital during 2014.
  • 5. MOBILE EVERYWHERE The world is approaching 2 billion smartphone users, and more people now access the Internet via mobile than PC. In fact, more people in the world now use a mobile phone than use a tooth- brush. We are aggressively working to invest in companies pursuing this incredible global trend.
  • 6. Peter Szulczewski and Danny Zhang created Wish to meet the rising mobile shopping demands of consumers around the world. One of the fastest-growing players in mobile commerce, Wish has more than 35 million active users, half of which use the app at least once a week.
  • 7. BRIDGING THE US AND CHINA The U.S. and China are the two largest economies in the world, and the fastest-growing consumer technology markets are in China, India and South- east Asia. We look for companies thinking globally from day one, and leverage our deep knowledge, experience, and relationships to help drive success in these markets.
  • 8. Adi Tatarko and Alon Cohen started Houzz in 2009 after a frustrating home remodeling experience. Five years later, Houzz is the largest online renovation and design community with more than 25 million monthly active users and 600 thousand professionals on the platform.
  • 9. GLOBAL COMMERCE Global e-commerce continues to rise, reaching more than $600 billion in 2014. Mobile commerce, growing a breakneck pace, will comprise nearly half of all e-commerce by 2018. The fastest-grow- ing and most innovative commerce and service platforms are being developed around highly engaged communities with high-quality content and social features.
  • 10. Justin Luo and Melissa Yang founded Tujia when they saw rising demand but under-utilized supply of vacation homes in China, the world’s largest travel market. Tujia, which offers both online listings and offline services, is now China’s leading vacation rental platform and raised more than $100 million in growth capital during 2014.
  • 11. SHARING EVERYTHING Mobile and social have grown up together, so it’s no surprise that mobile activity centers around sharing. Mobile is enabling people to share every- thing from knowledge to experiences to physical resources - all in real-time. We are working with entrepreneurs creating these new economies and communities.
  • 12. Sonny Vu, John Sculley and Sridhar Iyengar founded Misfit in 2011 to develop fashion- and design-focused wearables. Misfit now has a presence in more than 21 thousand retail locations in 50 countries and raised a growth capital round of financing from GGV, Xiaomi, and others in 2014.
  • 13. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED Mobile is no longer just about smartphones and tablets. By 2018 we expect to see more than 10 billion connected “IoT” devices worldwide, and connectivity and data will be ubiquitous. We are investing aggressively in the entrepreneurs help- ing to create and drive this market forward.
  • 14. As former CEO of Omniture, Josh James saw the unrealized potential for big data to drive decision- making in businesses. He founded Domo to build the ultimate business dashboard, and in 2014 the company saw 100% year-over-year growth.
  • 15. ON CLOUD NINE Cloud computing has revolutionized the $1 trillion enterprise technology market. This massive shift, however, is still in its infancy. Innovative entre- preneurs are creating massive opportunities in applications, mobile, security and infrastructure platforms.
  • 16. Mike McCue and Evan Doll created Flipboard in 2010 to make digital, mobile content and advertising as elegant and beautiful as the best in print. With more than 130 million users worldwide, Flipboard has become a daily habit for readers in the U.S., China and around the world.
  • 17. CONTENT THAT CAPTIVATES Digital media has steadily been overtaking tradi- tional media for mindshare. In the US, the average person spends more time each day on their mo- bile device than watching TV. High quality digital content has become the foundation for building engaged users, creating online communities, and driving online and mobile commerce.
