Instead of being a "hands-off financial investor that only makes investments without follow-up management", SCO Capital has placed a 50 million RMB angel round bet on "empowering industrial investment".
36Kr learned that Zhejiang Shuoke Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shuoke Capital") announced on September 19, 2026 that it has completed a RMB 50 million angel round of financing, which was jointly invested by a number of institutions and investors. As an industrial capital platform focusing on industrial investment, startup incubation and full-cycle value management for enterprises, the funds raised in this round of Shuoke Capital will be mainly used to expand the equity investment and post-investment management team, deepen the layout of the Yangtze River Delta industrial resource network, improve the startup incubation and enterprise management consulting service system, and further consolidate its capability base of making investments from an industrial perspective and empowering enterprises with management capabilities.
The Dilemma of Startup Growth: Early-stage Projects Lack Far More Than Just Capital
In tracks such as hard technology, advanced manufacturing, new energy and modern services, a large number of early-stage innovative enterprises are facing similar growth dilemmas: the founding teams are usually skilled in technology R&D and product polishing, but lack experience in supply chain construction, market channel expansion, organizational governance and equity structure design, and it is difficult to make up for these shortcomings solely through financial investment. As industrial upgrading enters the deep-water zone, what entrepreneurs need is no longer just capital, but one-stop industrial support covering supply chain, market channels, talent system and strategic planning, which is exactly the core value that distinguishes industrial capital from traditional financial investment.
Shuoke Capital is precisely targeting this segment. Rooted in Zhejiang and radiating across the country, the company relies on the profound industrial foundation of the Yangtze River Delta to connect local industrial parks, scientific research institutes, listed companies and upstream and downstream industrial resources, enabling it to open up the complete chain for invested enterprises from technology implementation, enterprise management to capital connection, and help early-stage projects cross the critical stage from startup to large-scale operation.
Making Investments from an Industrial Perspective, Empowering with Management Capabilities
The solution of Shuoke Capital is a two-wheel model that combines industrial investment and deep empowerment. Its business covers four major sectors: equity investment, enterprise management consulting, startup incubation services and industrial resource docking. Equity investment targets high-quality enterprises in the growth and startup stages, focusing on advanced manufacturing, new energy, technology services and other directions; management consulting provides services such as strategic planning, organizational structure optimization, internal control system construction and equity structure design; startup incubation services cover startup coaching, resource docking, policy application and business model polishing; industrial resource docking connects upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, market channels, talents and government-enterprise resources to help invested enterprises implement their businesses and expand their scale.
In terms of investment philosophy, Shuoke Capital adheres to making investments from an industrial perspective and empowering enterprises with management capabilities, and gives priority to promising growing enterprises with hard-core technologies, sustainable business models and strong founding teams. It adheres to the principle that post-investment work starts before investment, and will not act as a financial investor that only invests but does not manage. It deeply participates in the strategic sorting, organizational construction and resource connection of invested enterprises, helping enterprises make up for development shortcomings and continuously improve their core competitiveness. The core team of the company has many years of experience in physical enterprise operation, supply chain management, equity investment and enterprise governance, with both practical industrial experience and capital vision, and can provide support for invested enterprises at both the industrial cognition and enterprise management levels.
