Distinct shells carrying a filed role for this person — not every shell they have ever touched.
SEC-verified vehicles of the same sponsor, predating these roles and carrying none of them. The badge counts them; the figure beside this one does not.
Mergers closed across all 5 — these vehicles and the franchise's earlier ones together.
Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 5.
No closed vehicle here has both a stored price and a filed trust value to score it against.

Yongsheng Liu is a Hong Kong-based business executive and serial blank-check sponsor who currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newbridge Acquisition Ltd (Nasdaq: NBRG/NBRGU), a special purpose acquisition company that raised approximately $57.5 million in its IPO on January 30, 2026, with Kingswood Capital Markets acting as sole bookrunner. Newbridge Acquisition, founded in 2021, targets small-cap companies across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, with a focus on green and sustainable business, new energy, cutting-edge technologies, AI applications, business software, and healthcare products. On August 3, 2026, Newbridge announced a definitive business combination with Startech Group Inc., a technology company operating in the US/Canada market. Liu also holds the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Bridge III Acquisition Ltd, another blank-check vehicle, since 2023, underscoring his extensive prior SPAC experience. He may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of Newbridge's sponsor securities alongside Jining Li.
Beyond his SPAC leadership, Liu has served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of Goldenbridge since August 2020 and has held a Chief Operating Officer position, as well as a board seat at Suncar Technology, where he is listed as a board member on the company's investor relations page. He was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Royal China Holdings, a role that preceded his current blank-check activities. His executive career spans multiple Hong Kong and China-based public and private entities, and he has been involved in guiding companies through capital markets transactions and strategic combinations across the Asia-Pacific and North American corridors.
Liu's educational and professional background reflects a technology-oriented foundation. According to his LinkedIn profile, he holds a Master of Engineering in Computer Science (2002) and has served as Chief Executive Officer of GameBot, a Shenzhen-based technology venture, since March 2019. He has also been identified in international forums as a senior researcher with interests in AI, blockchain, and computing networks, having received a B.E. from Dalian University of Technology in 2005, an M.E. from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2008, and a Ph.D. from the University of Tsukuba in 2012, though it is unclear whether these academic credentials belong to the same Yongsheng Liu or to a namesake researcher at China Unicom's Research Institute. The SPAC executive's contact information lists a Hong Kong address at Unit B, 17/F, Success Commercial Building, and an email of winstonca@163.com.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001770371 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 158 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 58 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
