Background
Chengsuo Zhang is a China-based early-stage technology investor. He is publicly identified as Investment Director of Super Capital (超级资本), appearing in that capacity in INMOTION's December 2014 Series B funding announcement, where Super Capital participated as a follow-on investor alongside lead investor Tiantu Capital. The firm's stated interest is in "great teams that invent new technology or new business models," with a particular conviction around intelligent devices.
His LinkedIn profile lists him as an Investment Manager at N5Capital (五岳资本), a Beijing-based venture firm founded in 2013 by Will Jiang and Weiguo Zhao that focuses on early-stage mobile-internet, big-data, and consumer-technology investments (managing roughly US$350M across RMB and USD funds). Notably, N5Capital's portfolio also includes INMOTION/SoloWheel, the same self-balancing-vehicle company connected to his Super Capital work — indicating his career has centered on the smart-mobility and intelligent-hardware space.
Per aggregated profile data, he was educated at Tsinghua University and is based in Beijing. (Note: the two firm affiliations — Super Capital and N5Capital — appear across different sources and time periods; the Super Capital role is the one tied to the contact details above, while the N5Capital role reflects his LinkedIn listing.)
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests in early-stage / seed technology companies, and follows on into later rounds (e.g., Series B in INMOTION).
- Core conviction is in intelligent devices / smart hardware that change everyday life: *"We believe intelligent devices will redefine people's lives."*
- Backs teams building new technology or new business models: *"Super Capital is looking for great teams that invent new technology or new business model."* (Chengsuo Zhang, Investment Director, Super Capital)
- Adjacent focus (via N5Capital) on mobile internet, big data, e-commerce, and consumer technology.
Notable Investments
- INMOTION / SoloWheel — Emerging leader in self-balancing electric vehicles (electric unicycles/scooters) for urban consumers; Super Capital invested as a follow-on backer in the US$17M Series B announced December 9, 2014, led by Tiantu Capital.
- (Via N5Capital, the broader firm portfolio he is associated with includes TalkingData, 360 Finance, Car300, VivaVideo, and Ofashion — these are firm-level deals rather than individually attributed to him.)
