FROM PRO
TO INVESTOR

UpHonest Scouts Program (USP), initiated by UpHonest Capital, gathers aspiring early-stage investors. We help you write your first venture capital check and transform from a professional to an early-stage investor.

We recruit tech company employees in North America, finance professionals, and university MBAs to join our team, discover quality founders, and accelerate innovation.

UpHonest Capital

UpHonest Capital was founded in 2015 by Silicon Valley angel investor Wei Guo. With a global perspective, we focus on investing in early-stage quality startups. To date, we have invested in over 500 startups across Silicon Valley and China, including 16 unicorns like Hims&Hers (NYSE:HIMS), Vicarious Surgical (NYSE:RBOT), Instacart, Grubmarket, Lime, Checkr, Rippling, Dialpad, Boom Supersonic, Ironclad, and Coding Cat. Our investment areas cover Enterprise Services, Bio-Med, Fintech, Consumer Tech, Content & Entertainment, Frontier Tech, AI, and Mobile Internet.

Technology 🤝 Business

Your wisdom is not limited to your job. Your "tech sense" can help startups around you stand out and enter a broader space. The perfect complement of technology and business makes your future full of infinite possibilities.

In the past 10 years, more and more tech company employees have joined the wave of entrepreneurship or investment. We firmly believe USP will be the first step in your journey to explore the future, and UpHonest Capital will be your mentor and investment partner on your career path.
