The company focuses on developing high-compute product lines for AI vision applications. In June 2022 it announced a C round financing of several hundred million yuan. Proceeds are earmarked for global market expansion, expanding its high‑compute product lineup, and recruiting high‑end talent. The stated goal is to further build an internationally competitive, first‑tier AI vision chip company. No revenue, user, valuation, founding year, or location metrics were disclosed in the article. 肇观电子 is an AI chip startup that develops vision-focused silicon for applications such as security, access control, and home cameras. The company plans to formally launch its N-series AI vision chips (N163, N161, N160) and follow with D163 (3D vision) and V163 (automotive) to cover a broad set of computer-vision use cases. It also introduced the InferStudio development platform to help customers accelerate project evaluation and development. Founded in May 2016 in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang Jidian Port, the company has completed five financing rounds in under four years. Financially, it recently closed a ¥300 million Series B to expand its R&D team and broaden its product line; its prior A round at the end of 2018 was ¥200 million.
