Markham Valley Ventures

Markham Valley Ventures operates as a venture capital initiative empowering the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. The firm connects investors and entrepreneurs with emerging AAPI founders and innovative ideas. It cultivates a network of AAPI leaders, amplifying the community's impact across business and culture by backing community-led ventures.

Co-founded by Simu Liu, alongside General Partners Chris Kim and Steven Lim, Markham Valley Ventures emerged from the insight that a unified AAPI ecosystem was essential. Liu’s vision, inspired by his AAPI community background, sought to create a collective platform, forming a dedicated venture capital arm of his broader enterprise.

The firm primarily serves emerging founders and new businesses within or serving the AAPI community, providing access to investment and mentorship networks. Markham Valley Ventures envisions a future where AAPI influence in business and culture is significantly enhanced. It pledges to remain at the forefront, supporting initiatives for collective progress for Asian America.
