Turning matchmaking into moneymaking

Richard Heygate and Rob Wylie, two famous figures in the United Kingdom's venture capital industry, are spearheading an innovative project to unlock investment opportunities from China.

Their initiative relies on the power of trust, or guanxi as the Chinese call it, and connects investment opportunities through the accelerating number of Chinese students educated in the United Kingdom.

Central to the initiative is the fact that many Chinese students in the UK hope to stay and work after graduating but are unable to do so because of UK's strict immigration laws.
