A scarce channel into China's most coveted technology — built for global capital
Founded in 2026, Pelagis Associates opens growth-stage and pre-IPO opportunities in China's most coveted technology sectors — across AI, robotics, semiconductors, internet platforms and beyond — to Australian and global qualified investors.
Group Profile
Founded in 2026, Pelagis Associates is a cross-border private fund dedicated to China's scarcest technology assets. We give Australian and global qualified investors a route into growth-stage and pre-IPO opportunities across AI, robotics, semiconductors, internet platforms and beyond — opportunities that are typically closed to offshore capital.
Our structure spans three locations: the Hong Kong entity handles fund issuance and cross-border capital flows; the Shanghai team focuses on onshore deal sourcing in China's primary market; the Melbourne team manages Australian and global investor relations. This one-way channel allows offshore capital to be deployed — compliantly and efficiently — into the hardest-to-reach quality assets in China.
Why Pelagis
In China, the best technology allocations are rarely open to outsiders — access is decided by network and trust. That is precisely our edge. Our core team combines top-tier institutional discipline with frontline industrial relationships in China, enabling us to reach scarce opportunities that are otherwise inaccessible.
