About EcoKMC

EcoKMC（Suzhou）Co., Ltd is a Chinese entity wholly owned by EcoKMC LLC, a California financial services company. The EcoKMC Suzhou team operates global accelerators and funds to help innovation companies from the U.S. and around the world（especially late-stage startups）to enter the Chinese market. 

Through the funds and the accelerators, EcoKMC provides startups with well-funded China joint venture（JV）companies that have local government and private-sector support, ensuring that they are well-positioned and protected in the market. By participating in our accelerators and receiving investment funds in China, these JVs can act as offshore engineering and marketing divisions of the U.S. companies, without any effect on the ownership of the U.S. entities. This also allows the startups to offshore work to their JVs, helping companies achieve profitability on an accelerated timeline.

As a leader of global innovation community, EcoKMC is recognized by City of Suzhou as its Global Offshore Entrepreneur & Innovation Center, and consequently, EcoKMC has been tasked to organize “Win the Future” Venture Contest for International Entrepreneurs for consecutively 5 years since year 2019.
