WI Harper Group

Peter Liu founded WI Harper and serves as chairman; he is the individual named on the Fund VII filings, and appears on Fund IX under his full name, Pete Yeau-Hwan Liu, alongside Kin Sze Law. The senior bench is built for cross-border execution rather than a single geography. Edward Liu and Wilson Wu are managing partners, Charles Wu and Sean Peng are senior partners, and Winnie Hsu, Phoebe Wang and Kelvin Sun are partners. Dr. Yigong Wang serves as chief operations officer. Below the partnership, Vincent Gao, Joyce Lee, Earl Yu, Harrison Wu and Eric Fu are principals, with Emily Guo, Louie Lu and Alexander Cheng completing the investment team. The firm claims roughly 120 years of combined venture capital experience and points to two Stanford case studies written about it, WI Harper - Strategic Crossroads and WI Harper International: Bridge Between Silicon Valley and Asia.

WI Harper has raised nine funds since entering Greater China in 1993, with more than $1 billion of committed capital according to the firm, and the SEC record captures its recent vintages. WI Harper Fund VII LP filed from Grand Cayman in February 2012 reporting its full $95,183,500 offering as sold on a first sale of March 3, 2009, with two parallel vehicles alongside it: Fund VII QP LP at $10,218,300 and Fund VII-A LP at $4,598,200, taking the seventh vintage past $110 million. WI Harper Fund VIII LP nearly doubled that, filing in May 2016 with its entire $174,250,000 offering reported sold from a first sale of July 31, 2014. WI Harper Fund IX LP filed a $150 million offering in November 2020 and, unlike its predecessors, filed from San Francisco rather than the Cayman Islands, naming Pete Yeau-Hwan Liu and Kin Sze Law. The firm reports more than 400 portfolio companies across 30 countries and over 100 IPO and M&A exits across the program.
