Our Recognitions
Linear Capital was Horizon’s first institutional investor. Arguably one of China’s most skilled investors in tech-driven companies, they treat founders as true partners—offering not just capital but also unwavering encouragement and hands-on operational support.
Linear is a tech startup’s best friend.
Entrepreneurship is difficult, but Linear accompanies Kujiale to avoid detours, grow rapidly, and constantly surpass plans.
Linear team is very professional. Both Linear and Rokid exist for the future.
Linear is truly professional and attentive. Entrepreneurs can call Linear team at midnight and spend hours discussing problems.
From day one, our goal was to attract international investors who could help connect our Swiss startup to the global market. Linear Capital, as our first investor, played a crucial role in achieving this by bridging our reach to the United States and Asia. Beyond financial support, they have contributed significantly in areas such as hiring, customer acquisition, supply chain management, and investor relations.
Since TARS’ angel round, Linear Capital has stood shoulder to shoulder with TARS. Linear Capital has always held the conviction that TARS’ Human-Centric technological paradigm will inevitably surpass the technical singularity of embodied intelligence—a trust we deeply value.
Linear team's background means an extremely keen sense of tech innovation. Linear provides guidance and assistance in strategic decision-making and resource integration.
Linear Capital is the lead investor for Deep Principle. Equipped with professional insights in both Al and chemical materials, Linear Capital shares expertise in both technology and the market.
