About

We see the steady decline in happiness as one of human's biggest challenges.
"According to the latest World Happiness Report, the overall life satisfaction fell by 6% in the US between 2007 and 2018, and the happiness level among adults falls consistently below the higher levels of the 1990s."


Phenomenal products can change that.

We invest in the people, products, and missions that bring fun and power.
We invest at the intersection of physical and digital world.
We cannot wait to venture into the future, together.


Intonation Ventures is a produce-centric fund investing in pre-seed and seed-stage consumer tech companies. Along with Borong Capital, our investment arm in Beijing, we strive to bring an international perspective to today's interconnected world.


We are obsessed with products. We are obsessed with the joy and power that great products bring to this world. As early-stage investors, we are absolutely product-centric and we learn the most about a team from their products.

We invest in the future of fun, interactivity, and well-being:
- Consumer Tech
- Gaming + Interactive Entertainment
- Sports + Fitness + Wellness
- Marketplaces
- Consumer Products + Brands
