As of May 10, Infinity Ventures in Asia and e.ventures in the US and Europe have rebranded together as Headline. Moving forward, Infinity Venture’s existing offices in Beijing, Taipei, and Tokyo will be known as Headline Asia. Headline will also have offices in San Francisco, Berlin, Paris, and São Paulo.

"What we’ll gain from further collaboration is we will have access to more global data and trends. With our shared network of information, we’ll have more rapid and more efficient insight into internet tech trends happening around the globe and that is what’s going to make us better VCs,” Infinity Ventures founder and Headline co-founder Akio Tanaka says, “The world is becoming more connected, ideas from one part of the world to another travel much, much faster today. There is no such thing as purely regional deals anymore. Every regional deal in the future will have an international angle. For VCs to find winners early, and opportunities that scale, you need international intelligence. That’s what we have had so far working with e.ventures, and that’s what we’re betting on further with Headline.”

“I am so excited about this new chapter in our relationship. Our technology, our team, and our global vision combine to fuel our founders with resources at every stage of their companies’ life cycles,” says e.ventures partner and Headline co-founder Mathias Schilling.
