- Eyou Robot Technology
Participated · Series B · Aug 2026
Founded in 2018 and cultivated in Xishan, Jiangsu Eyou Robot Technology focuses on the research and production of integrated servo joint modules that combine motors, reducers, drivers, and encoders. Its integrated joints emphasize compact structure, control precision, and operational stability, and the company serves over 500 domestic and overseas enterprises including AGIBOT, TARS, iFLYTEK, FAW, TCL, Midea, Siemens, and Haier. The business spans Japan, South Korea, North America, and Southeast Asia, with overseas markets showing sustained growth. Orders in hand for joints have surpassed 1.5 million sets in 2026, a 15-fold increase over its total shipments for 2025. To meet demand, Eyou established what it calls the world's first fully automated production line for integrated joints in Shanghai Zhangjiang Robot Valley, producing a harmonic joint in 60 seconds with a 98% pass rate. The company has put 36,000 square meters of factory space into use at its Wuxi production base and acquired 34 mu of industrial land for a new smart manufacturing facility that will support a delivery capacity of 10 million units.
- RoboParty
Led · Series A · Jul 2026
RoboParty produces a fully open-source two-legged humanoid robot prototype and an accompanying open development platform that enables self-assembly, action replication, and algorithm debugging. Since open-sourcing, its GitHub project has received about 1.7K stars and its global developer community has exceeded 5,000 contributors. The team has shipped the first several hundred devices to early adopter universities, labs and developers, leading to high purchase and usage rates and repeat orders, with many users preordering the next product, RP1. RoboParty has earned industry recognition including third place globally at the ICRA Reasoning to Action competition and multiple open-source awards in embodied intelligence. The company is building a young, full-stack technical team recruiting from top universities worldwide and plans to continue iterating on ontology structure, motion control, documentation, development tools and hardware. It aims to scale mass replication and industrial deployment of humanoid robots by leveraging open source, youthful talent, and real user scenarios.
- DeepSeek
Participated · Equity · Jun 2026
DeepSeek is known for developing high-performance large AI models and maintaining popular open-source projects that have attracted over 170,000 GitHub stars and about 5.7 billion monthly API calls. Historically self-funded by its parent, High-Flyer Capital, the firm focused on foundational model research and resisted external investment until this recent financing move. Its next-generation flagship, V4, reportedly uses a trillion-parameter MoE architecture and is being deeply adapted to Huawei's Ascend chips to reduce dependence on NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem. The company is raising external capital to cover the enormous compute and engineering costs of V4, to establish a market valuation for employee equity incentives, and to accelerate productization and ecosystem development. DeepSeek faces engineering and tooling challenges in migrating to a non-NVIDIA stack and must translate research-led capabilities into sustainable business products post-funding.
- Zhiji Auto
Participated · Series B · Mar 2024
智己汽车 develops mid-to-large high-end pure electric vehicles with an emphasis on intelligent driving, smart cockpits, and vehicle control technologies.
