More than capital
We bring decades of operating experience, a global network of 1,200+ executives, and a dedicated platform team to every partnership.
Conviction-Led
We invest behind deep thesis work — not trends. Every deal starts with a contrarian belief about where the market is going.
Operator DNA
Our partners have built and scaled companies to billions in revenue. We bring operational muscle, not just capital.
Long-Term Partners
We don't flip positions. Average hold period is 8+ years. We ride the entire value-creation curve alongside founders.

Dedicated platform team for recruiting, GTM, finance, and international expansion across all portfolio companies.

Source
We develop independent thesis on where markets are heading, then proactively seek founders building in those spaces — often before anyone else.

“Xina didn't just write a check — they helped us recruit our first 10 engineers, refine our pricing model, and connected us with enterprise design partners who became our first $1M contracts. They're the most operationally helpful investors we've worked with.”
Karri Saarinen
CEO & Co-Founder, Linear
“What sets Xina apart is their depth of technical understanding. They don't just evaluate markets — they understand the code, the architecture, and the engineering challenges. That made them invaluable partners as we scaled from 10 to 200 engineers.”
