Built on Legacy, Investing in Tomorrow

Sky9 Capital traces its roots to a simple belief: that technology can transform industries and improve lives. Named "Yunjiu" in honor of our founding partner's grandfather—the first in his family to study at Harvard—we carry forward his pioneering spirit and commitment to education and opportunity.

Our Story

The Beginning

Sky9 Capital was founded in 2016 by partners who had been collaborating since 2011. From their early days of working together, they witnessed firsthand technology's power to reshape markets, which inspired the firm's clear mission: to back exceptional technical founders solving hard problems with AI and frontier technologies.

Our Approach

We bring more than capital. Having built and scaled companies ourselves, we understand the journey from idea to IPO. Our partners have led engineering teams, closed enterprise deals, navigated regulatory challenges, and scaled operations across continents.

Why Sky9

Deep technical expertise to evaluate and support AI-first companies

Operational experience from the trenches of building startups

Patient capital backed by institutional investors who share our long-term view

AUM of ~$2 billion since 2011 across seven USD funds

How We Think

Technical Excellence First

We believe the best companies are built by founders who deeply understand the technical challenges they’re solving. We look for teams with the expertise to build what others cannot.

Long-Term Partnerships

Our commitment extends far beyond the wire transfer. From recruiting key hires to facilitating customer introductions, we’re active partners through every stage of growth.
