Focusing on incubating and investing in early stage internet and AI startups.

Innovation Camp - iCamp was started in 2011 in Shanghai, with a strong belief that mobile internet would completely re-shape the internet landscape. iCamp subsequently incubated and invested in about 70 mobile internet startups in China and Silicon Valley. Some of them grew into unicorns. For example, Musical.ly, was initially incubated by iCamp in Shanghai, it became a dominant short music video platform in the US and many European countries. Musical.ly was acquired by Byte Dance at the end of 2017, and was rebranded as Tik Tok.

  iCamp was founded by a group of serial entrepreneurs who have extensive experience in starting and building successful companies in internet, education, semiconductor, and financial technology industries.   iCamp’s recent focus is on AI technology and its applications. iCamp strongly believes that AI is the next big thing, this wave is even bigger than mobile internet, and we are at the early stage of the J Curve. AI will change and disrupt all and every aspects of how people live, work, and entertain.
