In the 1990s, Taiwan's venture capitalists invested heavily in the emerging semiconductors industry, including firms such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Macronix, Winbond, and Mosel Vitelic, with considerable success.
爾後又有華登國際、日本大和證券等國外創投公司來台，國內則成立漢通、國際、和通等創投公司。1990 年代，台灣創投業大量投資新興的半導體業，包括台積電、旺宏、華邦、茂矽等公司，成果豐碩。
