Family Office
定义
A family office is a private organization managing the wealth of one wealthy family (single-family office) or several (multi-family office), often allocating part of it to direct startup investments.
它在融资中如何出现
Family offices write checks from angel-size to growth-size, move on their own timelines, and often value relationships and capital preservation alongside returns.
常见问题
How do family offices differ from VCs?
They invest their own permanent capital rather than a fund with a 10-year clock, so they can be more patient, more flexible on structure, and less pressured to chase unicorn-only outcomes.
How do I find family offices that invest in startups?
They are deliberately low-profile; curated databases and referrals work far better than public searching.
