Definition
出资 (chūzī) means 'to contribute capital' or 'to fund', focusing on putting money into a specific project, company, or venture, often as a co-founder or partner. It differs from 投资 (tóuzī), which is a broader term for any financial investment (stocks, real estate, etc.), and from 集资 (jí zī), 'to raise funds' from multiple sources.
