With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.
Robin Li believes that “Internet Plus” is the main driving force for maintaining operational efficiency and promoting economic growth in the new normal of the economy. Artificial intelligence will usher in a spurt of innovation that will leapfrog big data and cloud computing to propel the Internet into the third era after the PC and mobile.
