The fund will be used to make investments ranging from $2 million to $8 million, the firm said earlier this year.BlueRun generally invests in companies that develop mobile and consumer technologies. Its Shanghai office will be headed by Andrew Chen, formerly a business director at chip maker Silicon Storage Technology. In addition to China, BlueRun Ventures and Nokia are also looking at India. In June, the two partners announced plans to work together to identify investment opportunities in that country. Technology IndustrySoftware DevelopmentSmall and Medium Business
