About

AME Cloud Ventures is a venture fund led by Jerry Yang, co-founder of Yahoo!, focusing on seed to later-stage companies building infrastructure and value chains around data. The firm invests in technology-heavy companies that gather or create unique data across the data stack—from infrastructure to applications, mobile, and sensors. They believe that great people are key to a company's success and strive to find, fund, and support true entrepreneurs.

AME provides a unique set of resources to its founding teams, including strong operational and business experience, networks of mentors, and international partners, particularly in China. The name 'AME' (pronounced 'ah-may') means 'rain' in Japanese, reflecting their belief that accurate, actionable data will be a major lifeblood in the future economy.
