BEIJING, Jan. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Zero2IPO Research Center, the research wing of Zero2IPO Group -- a leading integrated Service Provider in the Chinese VC/PE industry, announced today that it has launched the China VentureDatabase, China's first Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) investment industry database. In today's information explosion era, accurate information is essential for increased investment efficiency.

China VentureDatabase will:

The Zero2IPO Research Center collected valuable data and built China VentureDatabase gradually throughout a span of eight years. It embarked on a major task of conducting large-scale surveys and creating a series of reports/directories on the VC industry during early 2000. During 2007, the research center finally compiled all investment information including classified survey data and formed the China VentureDatabase.

This database extends a wide range of resources related to VC/PE investment industry. The database incorporates detailed information on the Chinese VC industry since 2000 on, i.e. of VC and PE investment markets, mergers and acquisitions market and overseas/domestic listings of Chinese enterprises. As an authoritative VC industry information platform, the China VentureDatabase offers subscribers online database services. The subscribers receive timely and comprehensive information, and efficient electronic applications after gaining access to the database.

The simple and friendly interface enables users to:

-- Find information on finance, investment and divestment

-- Analyze industrial investment information

-- Acquire valuation and financial information unavailable in other

places

-- Learn the latest trends of VC/PE firms in China Mainland

-- Evaluate the performance of management teams

-- Monitor the investment experience, theories and trends

-- Get M&A information on acquiring/acquired companies

-- Get IPO information related to listed companies

A spokesperson for the Zero2IPO Group said, "We update the database regularly and provide online services enabling users to access the database anytime on demand and get what they want. Currently, the database only has the English version up. But we will launch the Chinese version, depending on market requirements."
