Horizon Ventures: Investing in the Future of Innovation

Horizons Ventures is a powerhouse in global venture capital, best known for backing some of the world’s most disruptive tech startups-including Facebook, Skype, Spotify, Siri, and DeepMind.

Founded by Solina Chau and Debbie Chang in 2002, the firm became closely associated with Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, who joined two years after its founding through his Li Ka Shing Foundation (Forbes).

The firm invests in sectors such as technology, healthcare, artificial intelligence, energy, and consumer products. Horizons Ventures provides strategic guidance, operational support, and access to a global network, helping founders bring groundbreaking technologies to market

“He loves disruptive innovations and sees it as kind of predictive lenses into the future. He loves to meet and geek with the founders and CEOs of companies within our ‘disruptive’ portfolio to understand their concepts and missions,” Chau said of Li Ka-shing’s involvement (Forbes).

Horizons Ventures is known for spotting and supporting companies that offer “price competitive solutions to a host of real problems and that would be of meaningful impact to the world"(Forbes).

The firm has also made significant investments in artificial intelligence, healthcare, and sustainable food technologies, such as vegan ingredient startups.

Recently, Horizons Ventures co-led a $112 million funding round in Harrison.ai, an Australian startup using AI to improve medical imaging. “The growing demand for equitable and effective healthcare calls for advanced systems like AI to enhance human diagnostics and address disparities in access to care,” said Harrison.ai’s CEO.

With a track record of identifying future-defining companies and technologies, Horizons Ventures remains at the forefront of innovation-connecting capital with visionaries who are changing the world.
