北美创投协会NAVCA秘书处

On August 20, 2025, the North American Venture Capital Association (NAVCA) held its inaugural general meeting online, with all core members in attendance. The meeting covered organizational structure, member backgrounds, case studies, and future action plans.

Our mission

NAVCA is dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship and investment exchange between China and the United States — spanning fundraising, startup incubation, business-model innovation, M&A and IPO pathways, capital-markets enablement, and future industry trends — building a professional, win-win, cross-border venture platform that brings technology, capital, and culture together.

Leadership

  • President: Aaron Tsai (Tsai Yi-Qun) — a noted Wall Street capital-markets strategist known as the “King of Shells,” with deep IPO and SPAC experience.
  • Secretary General: Annie Xiao — CEO of GSM Group Star Media North America, working across culture, media, and cross-border investment.
  • Chief Scientist: Dr. John Jiang — veteran of U.S. defense research, NASA, and US-VISIT programs, focused on AI, big data, and enterprise digital transformation.
  • Directors: Tony Zhao (Xiao-Qing), Jason Duan (Xian-Sheng), and Liyun Gao — with backgrounds across banking, AI investment, angel investing, and cultural-industry incubation.
  • Treasurer: James Luo (Jian) — a statistics and financial-compliance specialist who has contributed to multiple FDA new-drug approvals.

Key outcomes

  1. A closed-loop project decision process: Secretary-General screening → Chief Scientist evaluation → Treasurer compliance review → board vote → President capital pathway.
  2. A compliance-first consensus: integrity and compliance are the lowest-cost protection; every project needs a baseline framework.
  3. An internal case library of successes and failures as teaching material.
  4. Stronger cross-border connectivity across capital, technology, and industry resources.
  5. Regular meetings, organized by the Secretary General.

Outlook

NAVCA will continue advancing cross-border collaboration in entrepreneurship and investment, exploring the multidimensional integration of technology × capital × globalization — helping founders and investors grow together and create long-term value.
