Symbiosis and Connection: VB Insights Unveils New Mission with 300,000 Global Health Innovators

Hello everyone,I am Liu Huiguang from VCBeat,This is my second article on VCBeat.Now that we have decided to launch the “Arterial Notes” column, I will join forces with my colleagues at VCBeat to regularly share our insights and reflections from serving clients.

 Liu Huiguang, CEO of VCBeat

Last year, a friend (client) from Chengdu told me, “We must collaborate with VCBeat this year; the company has turned profitable.” I asked why.

This friend mentioned that he started his business in 2017, and his first round of financing came from VCBeat’s initial coverage. His first major client was acquired through participation in the Future Healthcare 100 event. At that time, the company was still in its early stages and received free support from VCBeat. It was also because of this friend,VCBeat has ventured into exploring a new business model: corporate matchmaking services.Within six months, VCBeat again connected this friend with nearly10 million order。

This is precisely the original intention behind my writing this article: to provide friends with an update on VCBeat’s progress over the past two years.

Most people came to know VCBeat through a single article. Over the past eight years, as of March 29, just on the VCBeat WeChat Official Account,Over 6,400 original articles have been published., interested readers may check the official accounts they frequently follow to see the volume of original content. Moreover, all articles on VCBeat are focused on the life and health sector. Meanwhile, VCBeat Eggshell Research Institute,Nearly 400 original reports have been produced.。

This marked the 1.0 era of VCBeat. We believe that the power of written content can promote consensus and drive industrial innovation. What gratifies us most is that over the past eight years, VCBeat hasInternet Healthcare, Artificial Intelligence, Innovative Medical Devices, Biopharmaceuticals...played a modest role in innovation and entrepreneurship in these fields. What we are most proud of is that the companies we have accompanied on their journeys have achieved rapid growth; many have become publicly listed companies or unicorns, truly transforming China’s healthcare landscape, quality of care, and costs.

During this process,VCBeat has gathered over 300,000 global innovators and practitioners in the life and health sectors.(Extremely precise, because VCBeat’s articles are quite challenging to read; I assume those who subscribe are truly dedicated fans.) Every day, we receive a wide variety of requests through our platform, journalists, operations team, and other channels—primarily seeking talent, funding, and corporate partnerships. We are constantly engaged in facilitating these connections.

Starting from project selection, we aim to further elevate the value proposition of VCBeat.

VCBeat’s Value: The Evolution from Information Production and Aggregation to Monetization

During the course of corporate development, production line upgrades are inevitable. Companies may either focus on a single production line or integrate upstream and downstream lines to strengthen their competitive position within a specific sector.

Excellent partners are like adding wings to a tiger, but how can they find each other?

In an unfamiliar track, finding companies with innovative points, technological barriers, and unified core team values is like finding a needle in a haystack:

● First,You need a database with comprehensive content and a complete enterprise repository;

● Secondly,Industry researchers with a deep understanding of the target sector are needed to assess the company's development status and current team structure;

● Finally,Even if you invest substantial human and financial resources to identify target companies, failure to reach key decision-makers within their teams can lead to repeated project delays.

These challenges are common to enterprises, government industrial parks, and investment institutions. It is no easy task for government industrial parks to attract companies specializing in niche sectors, while investment institutions need to rapidly identify and cover innovative companies within their target tracks to establish their own competitive moats.

How exactly can this impasse be broken? VCBeat’s answer: project selection!

Since its establishment in 2014, VCBeat has been building its own database for the healthcare industry. Today, we possess the world’s largest database of innovative medical enterprises,There are nearly 70,000 innovative enterprises.Included in the enterprise database, among whichOver 20,000 enterprises and institutions deeply engaged. Over the past eight years, VCBeat’s various platforms have collectivelyPublished 13,000+ Original Articles，Accumulated 300,000+ followers, covering the vast majority of innovative healthcare investors, company founders, and more.

Sample of Clients Reached in the VCBeat Industry Database

Based on the selection criteria of enterprises, government industrial parks, and investment institutions, VCBeat can generate target company profiles across more than 20 dimensions, including products, technologies, and core teams. Subsequently, by leveraging tagging systems, VCBeat identifies a suitable set of target companies from its proprietary database of innovative enterprises. Finally, we conduct individual consultations with financial advisory (FA) firms, researchers, expert panels, and hospitals within the relevant industry sectors, and carry out precise due diligence and communication with the companies to identify those that best match your requirements.

We divide project delivery into two formats: online and offline.Online delivery enables clients to access basic information about target companies and engage in online communication; offline delivery allows clients to gain in-depth insights into companies through salons, corporate visits, and other formats.

Taking the global tech giant Microsoft as an example, it faces the following challenges in the domestic implementation of its digital transformation products:Three Major Business Challenges：

1. Understanding of the healthcare industry needs to be improved;

2. Failure to establish brand perception in the healthcare industry;

3. Channels for medical resources need to be expanded.

Addressing these issues, VCBeat has customized a “1+1+1” service package for it: Specifically, this involves enhancing Microsoft’s brand awareness in the healthcare sector through a series of media reports; establishing Microsoft’s benchmark value in medical digitalization scenarios via an industry-customized report; and building an industrial ecosystem through a series of implemented activities. Based on project selection services, this approach helps Microsoft rapidly expand its reach within the healthcare industry circle through formats such as thematic forums, case study competitions, and targeted salons.
