世
🇨🇳
世航智能
Robotics世航智能 builds autonomous underwater robots and marine intelligence systems for ocean exploration and monitoring.
$140MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $140M Series A for underwater robotics signals China is betting hard on ocean infrastructure and resource monitoring—this isn't exploration vanity, it's strategic. At this check size, 世航智能 is likely building out manufacturing scale and field ops for commercial deployments (offshore energy, aquaculture, port security), not just R&D. If you're in robotics or autonomous systems, watch how they solve the underwater comms/power problem—that constraint is the real moat, and their solution will probably get copied into adjacent domains.
极
🇨🇳
极佳视界
Physical AGI极佳视界 builds foundational AI models for physical robots in household and industrial settings.
$140MSeries B2
A $140M Series B2 for robot foundation models signals China is treating physical AI as infrastructure, not moonshot—this round size at this stage means they're scaling production/deployment, not just R&D. If you're building in robotics, autonomous systems, or even vision-heavy automation anywhere, watch whether their model licensing becomes the default layer (like how Stable Diffusion shifted image generation economics), because that changes your cost structure and moat.
Orbio builds AI agents that automate hiring, onboarding, and management of frontline workers for enterprises.
$21MSeries A
A $21M Series A for frontline workforce automation signals that enterprises are finally willing to pay for AI agents that handle high-volume, repetitive hiring/onboarding—the unsexy but massive TAM. Orbio likely uses this to build out vertical-specific workflows (retail, hospitality, logistics) and land bigger enterprise customers who need compliance-grade automation. If you're building any kind of workflow automation for SMBs or enterprises, watch how they price and position around liability/compliance—that's the real moat in regulated labor workflows.
秩
🇨🇳
秩益科技
Physics AI / SimulationVerified秩益科技 builds physics simulation AI models using advanced resolution technology for scientific computing.
UndisclosedSeries A
Chinese VCs are still writing Series A checks in mid-2026, which suggests either strong portfolio momentum or selective conviction in specific verticals—worth watching what sector this is. If it's infrastructure or B2B SaaS, this signals patient capital willing to back longer unit economics; if consumer, it's a contrarian bet. For founders in adjacent spaces, this matters because 毅达资本's check size and follow-on behavior will telegraph whether China's VC market is actually contracting or just consolidating around proven teams.
死
🇨🇳
死了么
Consumer死了么 provides a platform to track the status and longevity of internet services and products for Chinese consumers.
$1.4M
Investor undisclosed
A $1.4M seed for a service-status tracker in China signals that consumer trust in digital reliability is becoming a standalone business—not just a feature. If you're building consumer infrastructure (fintech, health apps, logistics), watch how 死了么 monetizes: they're likely going B2B2C (selling uptime transparency to platforms) or direct subscriptions, which means your users increasingly expect real-time status pages as table stakes.
Ant International enables cross-border payments and financial services for businesses and individuals globally.
$10B
Investor undisclosed
A $10B round for cross-border payments in 2026 signals that regulatory clarity around stablecoins and remittance rails has finally unlocked institutional capital—this isn't a Series A, it's a mega-round suggesting Ant is either going public or consolidating market dominance. If you're building in embedded finance or B2B payments, watch whether they're using this to acquire distribution (SME networks, banking partnerships) or build proprietary rails; that tells you whether the moat is still network effects or shifting to infrastructure.
S
Shihang Intelligence builds AI-powered solutions for enterprise clients in China.
$14MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $14M Series A for an enterprise AI play in China signals that foreign capital is still flowing into the space despite regulatory headwinds—but the undisclosed investor list suggests caution around optics. If you're building B2B AI infrastructure, watch whether Chinese founders are raising larger rounds domestically (via state funds or tech giants) versus international VCs; that'll tell you if the playbook is shifting toward self-sufficiency.
宏
🇨🇳
宏观微界软件
Software宏观微界软件builds software solutions for enterprises in China.
$490KSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $500K seed for enterprise software in China signals continued appetite for B2B SaaS in the region, though the undisclosed investor list and vague positioning make it hard to read whether this is genuine market validation or a smaller regional round. If you're building for Chinese enterprises, this suggests the bar for seed funding is still there—but you'll need clearer differentiation than 'software solutions' to attract named capital.
J
Jiajishijie provides supply chain and logistics solutions for Chinese enterprises.
$14MSeries B2
Investor undisclosed
A $14M Series B2 for Chinese supply chain logistics signals that enterprise software buyers in China are still willing to fund infrastructure plays—but the round size suggests either slower growth or tighter capital conditions than 2021-2023. If you're building B2B SaaS for logistics/ops in any market, watch whether this company pivots toward AI-driven optimization or stays pure workflow software; that'll tell you which direction the category is actually moving.
Z
Zhiyi Technology builds software solutions for Chinese enterprises, though specific product details are unavailable.
$140KSeries A+
Investor undisclosed
A $100K Series A+ for a Chinese enterprise software company is either a data gap or a sign of a very early-stage pivot—most A+ rounds are 5-10x larger. If real, it suggests either a micro-fund leading or a bridge round before a larger institutional close, which could mean the founder is being cautious about dilution or the market for their specific use case is narrower than typical SaaS. Worth watching if you're building for SMBs in Asia, since tight capital efficiency at this stage often predicts which founders survive the next 18 months.
世
🇨🇳
世航智能
Robotics世航智能 builds autonomous underwater robots and marine intelligence systems for ocean exploration and monitoring.
$140M
A $140M Series B for underwater robotics signals China is betting hard on ocean infrastructure—likely driven by coastal monitoring, subsea cable inspection, and resource mapping needs that Western players haven't saturated yet. The check size and tier-1 backers (Temasek + Zhu Xiaohu) suggest this isn't a niche play; they're probably burning cash on hardware scale and field deployment, not just R&D. If you're building robotics or autonomous systems anywhere, watch how they solve the latency/communication problem underwater—that constraint is different enough that solutions might transfer to other harsh-environment domains.
Zumutor develops NK cell checkpoint immunotherapies to enhance natural killer cell activity against tumors.
$7.3MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
A $7.3M Series B for NK cell immunotherapy signals that checkpoint modulation (beyond the saturated PD-1/PD-L1 space) is attracting serious capital—especially with Accel backing, which rarely touches biotech unless the science is differentiated. They're likely funding IND-enabling studies and early clinical work, which means the NK cell thesis has moved past pure R&D into validation. If you're building in adjacent cell therapy or checkpoint biology, this validates that investors are willing to fund the harder immunology problems when the mechanism is genuinely novel.
碳
🇨🇳
碳生万物
Carbon Capture碳生万物 develops direct air capture technology to convert atmospheric CO2 into sustainable aviation fuel.
UndisclosedSeries A
Chinese energy storage and renewables players are now actively co-investing in early-stage tech—this signals they're building supply chains and software layers rather than just buying commodity hardware. If you're in industrial software, grid optimization, or battery management, watch whether these strategic backers expect equity upside or are just securing technical moats for their core business.
Endurance Energy develops long-duration energy storage solutions for grid stabilization and renewable integration.
$54MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $54M Series A for grid storage in mid-2026 signals that utilities and grid operators are finally moving past pilot phase—they're committing real capex to solve the intermittency problem renewables created. If you're building anything that touches renewable integration, grid resilience, or industrial power management, watch what Endurance does with this capital; the playbook they execute (hardware scale vs. software/controls vs. partnerships) will telegraph which go-to-market actually works at utility speed.
ChptrFintech
Chptr builds financial infrastructure for homeowners to access equity in their properties.
$5.5MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
Home equity access is heating up again—this round suggests investors believe the regulatory/lending environment is finally stable enough for non-traditional players to compete with HELOCs. At $5.5M Series A, Chptr is likely building out underwriting automation and lender partnerships rather than holding balance sheet risk themselves. If you're in embedded finance or consumer lending, watch how they solve the appraisal/verification bottleneck—that's the actual moat here, not the UI.
Equal AI builds voice AI agents for call management, spam filtering, and identity verification across enterprise and consumer use cases.
$30MSeries B
A $30M Series B for voice AI agents signals that call-handling automation is moving from novelty to infrastructure—especially in markets where phone-based workflows still dominate (India's a telling bet here). Equal AI's mix of spam filtering + identity verification suggests they're solving the boring-but-critical layer that enterprises actually need before trusting voice AI with real transactions. If you're building any agent that needs to handle inbound calls or verify users, watch how they're positioning around compliance and carrier integration—that's the moat, not the model.
Applied Digital builds AI compute infrastructure and data centers for enterprises running large-scale AI applications.
$1.6BDebt
Investor undisclosed
A $1.6B debt round for compute infrastructure signals that AI workload demand has moved from hype to bankable cash flows—lenders won't touch this without predictable customer contracts. If you're building any AI application layer (agents, fine-tuning platforms, etc.), this means your unit economics need to account for compute costs staying elevated; the infrastructure play is getting capital-efficient, not cheaper.
丰
🇨🇳
丰元股份
丰元股份 is a Chinese industrial company with significant capital raising, likely operating in manufacturing or materials.
$199.9MStrategic
Investor undisclosed
A $200M strategic round for a Chinese industrial manufacturer signals patient capital is still flowing into hard-tech supply chains—likely tied to domestic reshoring or critical materials control rather than growth-stage exits. If you're building in adjacent materials, manufacturing software, or supply-chain infrastructure, watch whether this capital unlocks new procurement patterns or consolidation in your vendor base.
顺
🇨🇳
顺景科技
Sensors顺景科技 manufactures pressure sensors at scale with 10M annual capacity for industrial applications.
$150.8MStrategic
Investor undisclosed
A $150M strategic round for a sensor manufacturer signals serious consolidation in industrial IoT—someone with distribution or integration needs just locked in supply. At 10M annual capacity, this capital likely funds capacity expansion and automation to hit 50M+ units, which means the acquirer expects massive volume growth in the next 2-3 years. If you're building industrial monitoring software or edge compute, watch whether this company's next move is vertical integration into data services—that's where the real margin fight happens.
LeafFintech
Leaf provides financial services for coffee farmers, enabling them to access credit and manage cash flow.
$13MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
A $13M Series B for agricultural fintech in 2026 signals that climate-adjacent supply chain financing is finally getting real capital—not just ESG theater. Leaf is almost certainly using this to scale lending volume and build out their underwriting infrastructure (likely leaning on satellite data or transaction history instead of traditional collateral). If you're building in emerging-market B2B fintech, this validates that investors will fund the unglamorous plumbing: the boring, high-touch credit products that actually move cash for smallholder producers.
Theker builds AI-powered robotic systems for industrial automation and manufacturing.
$85M
LVMH leading an $85M check into a Spanish robotics startup signals luxury/high-end manufacturing is betting hard on AI automation—likely for precision assembly and quality control where margins justify the capex. At this stage and size, Theker's probably scaling production of their core robotic platform and building out enterprise sales. If you're in adjacent automation spaces (logistics, food processing, pharma), watch whether LVMH's supply chain becomes a reference customer that opens doors to other conglomerates.
SpaceX builds reusable rockets and spacecraft for commercial, government, and deep space missions.
$75BIPO
Investor undisclosed
A $75B SpaceX IPO in 2026 signals that launch capacity has moved from scarcity to commodity—the market is pricing in sustained demand for orbital access, not just proving the concept works. If you're building anything that depends on cheap, frequent satellite deployment (Earth observation, comms, logistics networks), this validates your unit economics assumptions and means you can plan for launch costs to stay flat or decline, not spike.
TurnUpFintech
TurnUp provides hosting infrastructure for fintech companies to deploy and scale their applications.
$2.2MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $2.2M seed for fintech infrastructure suggests investors still believe there's room for specialized hosting layers—likely because compliance + latency requirements make generic cloud inadequate for this use case. If you're building any regulated vertical (lending, payments, trading), this signals that infrastructure plays targeting your specific constraints can get funded, which means there's probably a wedge for you too.
TurnoutFintech
Turnout builds political fundraising and compliance infrastructure for Democratic candidates and causes.
$35MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $35M Series A for political fundraising infra signals Democrats are finally treating tech stack modernization as a competitive advantage—this isn't a hot category, it's a structural gap being filled. Turnout likely uses this to build out compliance automation and payment rails that candidates currently cobble together from 5+ vendors. If you're building B2B fintech for regulated verticals (healthcare billing, legal ops, etc.), watch how they solve the compliance-speed tradeoff—that playbook transfers directly.
CurrentFintech
Current Health provides digital health monitoring and remote patient management for healthcare providers and payers.
$80MSeries E
Investor undisclosed
An $80M Series E for RPM software signals payers are finally willing to fund at scale—this isn't early-stage conviction, it's capital flowing to proven unit economics. Current likely uses this to expand into adjacent verticals (behavioral health, post-acute care) and build out their data moat rather than just chase volume. If you're building any B2B2C health tool, watch whether they're acquiring customers through payer relationships or direct-to-provider; that distribution model is becoming the real defensibility.
Hypha builds worker-owned cooperative infrastructure for digital platforms and services.
$50MSeed
Investor undisclosed
A $50M seed for worker co-op infrastructure is a rare signal that patient capital is betting on alternative ownership models as a hedge against platform labor friction—expect this to accelerate if gig economy regulation tightens further. They're likely building the operational backbone (payments, governance, compliance tooling) that makes co-ops actually viable at scale, not just ideological. If you're in creator economy, logistics, or any labor-heavy marketplace, watch how Hypha solves the coordination problem that kills most co-ops; that playbook becomes your moat if regulation shifts.
C
Coram AIEnterprise SaaS
Coram AI builds enterprise AI software for organizations to deploy and manage large language models securely.
$35MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
A $35M Series B for LLM ops infrastructure signals that enterprises have moved past 'should we use LLMs?' to 'how do we actually run this safely at scale'—governance and deployment tooling are now table stakes, not nice-to-haves. This round size suggests Coram is positioning for land-and-expand across Fortune 500s, which means if you're building anything that touches model management, compliance, or multi-tenant AI workloads, you're now competing in a space with well-funded players who can bundle these capabilities.
Theker builds AI-powered robotic systems for industrial automation and manufacturing.
$92.7MSeries A
A $92.7M Series A for industrial robotics signals that deep-pocketed corporates (Samsung, LVMH, Henkel, Inditex) are now writing checks directly into automation—they're not waiting for venture-scale exits. Theker's likely burning this on hardware scaling and factory deployments, not software. If you're building any B2B automation play, watch whether they're winning on unit economics or just on brand trust with legacy manufacturers.
4baseCare combines genomics and AI to deliver personalized cancer treatment plans based on patient genetic and clinical data.
$0Series B
A $0M Series B is either a data error or a bridge round—either way, it signals growX is backing the precision oncology thesis in India, where genomics infrastructure is still nascent but labor costs make the unit economics work. If you're building in adjacent diagnostic verticals (rare disease, pharmacogenomics), watch whether 4baseCare can actually move the needle on treatment outcomes; that's the moat that matters, not just the AI wrapper.
OnibiAI-powered Game Development
Onibi builds an AI-powered open-world multiplayer RPG that generates unique villages, cultures, NPCs, and quests for each player.
UndisclosedStrategic
A strategic round in June 2026 from SeaX and Pix suggests this is likely a Southeast Asia or emerging-market play—both investors focus there. The 'strategic' label usually means the round is smaller than Series A but bigger than seed, so probably $2-5M for hiring ops/sales teams and expanding into a second country. If you're building B2B SaaS for emerging markets, watch whether this company's unit economics hold as they scale geographically—that's the real test VCs are betting on here.
Ethereal Machines builds ultra-precise AI-powered CNC machines and factory software for precision manufacturers via a machining-as-a-service model.
$28.5MSeries B
A $28.5M Series B for precision CNC-as-a-service signals that investors are betting on reshoring + automation of high-tolerance manufacturing—the unit economics work when you own the hardware and software stack together. If you're building any B2B hardware play with recurring revenue potential, this validates that VCs will fund the capital-intensive path if your software moat is defensible enough to justify the machine ownership model.
X
Xingyuanzhi Robot builds embodied AI software and controllers that power physical robots for manufacturers.
$14M
Investor undisclosed
A $14M round for embodied AI controllers in China signals manufacturers are moving past pilots—they're buying software that makes existing hardware actually useful. If you're building any kind of physical automation (warehouse, logistics, inspection), watch how fast Chinese OEMs adopt this; it'll tell you whether the bottleneck is really the AI or just integration costs.
C
China Resources New Energy develops renewable power generation and energy solutions across China.
$3.6BIPO
Investor undisclosed
A $3.6B IPO for a renewable energy developer signals China's still betting hard on domestic clean energy infrastructure—likely driven by grid modernization needs and manufacturing overcapacity in solar/wind. The scale suggests they're using proceeds to build generation assets and grid interconnection, not R&D, so this is capital-intensive execution play. If you're in energy storage, grid software, or industrial electrification, watch whether they're actually deploying capacity faster than demand grows—that'll tell you if the market's overheating or if there's real pull.
Kardigan develops cardiovascular therapeutics to treat heart disease.
UndisclosedIPO
Investor undisclosed
PhoenixAI builds AI-powered solutions for enterprise operations and decision-making.
$80MSeries B
Investor undisclosed
An $80M Series B for enterprise ops AI in mid-2026 signals that buyers are finally moving past chatbot pilots—they want AI integrated into actual workflows where it moves money or saves time. If you're building in adjacent operational spaces (supply chain, finance automation, HR systems), this validates that enterprises will fund purpose-built tools over generic LLM wrappers, but you'll need to prove ROI within 6-12 months to get traction.
A
Apotex Health manufactures and distributes generic and branded pharmaceuticals for patients across Canada.
UndisclosedIPO
Investor undisclosed
Billables AIFinancial Operations
Billables AI automates financial operations and billing workflows for B2B companies using AI.
$10.2MSeries A
Investor undisclosed
A $10.2M Series A for billing automation signals that back-office automation is finally moving past hype—companies are willing to fund it when it directly reduces headcount or accelerates cash collection. At this stage and size, Billables is likely hiring sales/CS hard and building vertical-specific templates to prove unit economics. If you're building any workflow automation in finance or ops, watch how they position ROI (days-to-payback vs. feature count)—that's becoming table stakes for enterprise deals.
G
GreatAsic Technology designs custom high-performance chips for data-centre, automotive, and edge AI applications.
$6.9MPre-Series A
A $6.9M pre-Series A for a Malaysia-based chip design shop signals that Southeast Asia is becoming a real alternative for custom silicon—not just assembly. This money likely funds tape-out cycles and hiring senior design talent, which is brutally expensive. If you're building infra software for AI or automotive, watch whether GreatAsic can actually close design wins; if they do, it means custom chips are becoming accessible to mid-market customers, not just hyperscalers.
H
Hefei Hongstorage builds energy storage and management technology for grid and industrial applications in China.
$82.3M
Investor undisclosed
An $82M round for grid-scale energy storage in China signals the country is moving past subsidy-dependent solar/wind toward actual grid reliability infrastructure—this is less about renewable hype and more about the unglamorous plumbing that makes grids work. If you're building anything that touches power distribution, grid interconnection, or industrial load management, watch how Chinese storage companies are solving for duration, cycle life, and thermal management; they're often 18 months ahead on cost curves.
Record OSAccounting & Tax
Record OS builds AI-powered accounting and tax software for small businesses and accountants.
$2MPre-Seed
A $2M pre-seed for accounting automation signals that investors still see margin in the compliance layer—but only if you can actually reduce accountant time, not just digitize paperwork. If you're building in adjacent back-office workflows (payroll, expense management, audit prep), watch whether Record OS can prove unit economics that justify the AI spend; if they can't, it's a warning that the category needs either 10x efficiency gains or a different pricing model to work.
Mygate builds an app-based security and access management platform for gated residential communities.
$27K
A $0M round (likely a pre-seed or angel check) into residential security in India signals investors are betting on digitization of fragmented, analog property management—but the absence of a disclosed amount suggests this is still very early validation, not category momentum. If you're building in adjacent verticals like tenant screening, utility management, or community payments, watch whether Mygate can actually get adoption past the first 50 buildings; that's where most community SaaS products stall.
