VentureBlick Files IPO Prospectus: Connecting Chinese Medical Innovators and Expert Mentors on the Global VC Stage
Having risen from the ranks of pharmaceutical sales representative to a member of the Global Executive Committee at one of the world’s premier healthcare giants, and adorned with the titles of “Legendary President in China’s Healthcare Circle” and “The International Executive Who Best Understands China’s Healthcare Industry,” this seasoned healthcare executive with over three decades of experience embarked on his entrepreneurial journey this year at the age of 57.
He is Chris Lee (Li Xilie), an atypical CEO. Among his long list of labels—multinational healthcare executive, bestselling author, columnist, band drummer, singer-songwriter, and pre-Olympic taekwondo athlete—“venture capitalist” is his latest identity.
Chris Lee’s Multiple Identities
Chris’s career has been marked by “major” milestones—delivering outstanding results in business growth, strategic M&A, new market expansion, and innovation incubation. He has overseen diverse portfolios spanning prescription pharmaceuticals, medical devices, consumer health products, and animal health, with professional experience across more than ten countries and regions on three continents.
But his first entrepreneurial venture was aimed at “small” businesses. He founded VentureBlick, a platform dedicated to connecting healthcare startups with healthcare investors. It is the world’s first international healthcare venture capital and investment platform that systematically, scalably, and transnationally engages healthcare professionals in the evaluation of innovative projects.

Early-stage medical innovations that receive collective assessment and endorsement from global medical experts will be prioritized for a range of professional support services on the VB International Venture Capital Platform, enhancing industry collaboration and accelerating international market expansion.
Where Does VB See the Opportunities for Success in China’s Healthcare Innovation?
Chris Lee: Let professionals handle their areas of expertise; have medical experts evaluate medical innovations.
Startups are typically plagued by two concerns: first, how to maintain focus on product development while seeking funding; and second, how to validate product-market fit. The heterogeneity of global healthcare systems and market demands further poses significant challenges for local innovations aiming to expand internationally.
China boasts a vast market and cutting-edge medical technologies. To accelerate the internationalization of China’s healthcare innovations, it is essential to account for global market differences and leverage support from global healthcare networks right from the initial stages of innovation.
For most healthcare startups, healthcare professionals are their future customers. VB helps early-stage innovations secure advice, feedback, and funding from seasoned experts across various sectors of the global healthcare industry, enabling startups to gain more focused and in-depth market insights while advancing their technologies and products. Meanwhile, under VB’s unique venture capital mechanism, companies can obtain initial development funding ranging from $200,000 to $5 million while retaining control during the early stages.
