The SVC Venture Club publish an article on Light Polymers and the Joint Ventures:
“SVC Venture helped to facilitate this deal when one of our Russian investor members referred Light Polymer to us in June 2016, in the hope that we could help connect US-China investors and partners. After an in-depth conversation regarding Light Polymer’s technology, funding needs, and strategic plan, we connected its CEO Marc McConnaughey with Tsingda, whose investment preferences and resources we believed to highly matched what Light Polymer was looking for. As such, we are very happy to see how successful their partnership has been since then.”
