Shexu Technology Raises Over 100 Million Yuan in Series B for Industrial AI

Shexu Technology (设序科技), a Chinese developer of industrial AI design solutions, closed a Series B round of more than 100 million yuan (about $14 million) in July 2026. Across all rounds, the startup has raised more than 300 million yuan in total, according to 36氪.

How much did the company raise?

Shexu Technology raised more than 100 million yuan in its Series B, and its total funding to date now exceeds 300 million yuan, about $42 million at current exchange rates. The round drew both new investors and an existing shareholder.

• Series B: more than 100 million yuan (~$14 million), July 2026
• Total funding: more than 300 million yuan (~$42 million)
• New investors in the round: Shenzhen Industrial Investment (深产投) and Heding (合鼎共)
• Existing shareholder Yonghua Investment (涌铧投资) invested again
• Company profile: solutions for industrial AI design and R&D

Yonghua Investment's repeat participation is a vote of confidence: a fund that entered the cap table at an earlier stage increased its stake in the new round. Reaching Series B generally means a startup has already passed the product-validation stage and is moving on to scaling.

Where will the money go?

Shexu Technology will put the Series B proceeds toward market expansion, including going overseas (出海), and toward developing core model technologies. International expansion and in-house models are the company's two stated priorities.

"The funding will be used for market development, including expansion

into overseas markets, and for the development of core model technologies," according to 36氪.

The focus on 出海 (going overseas) is typical of Chinese tech startups in 2025–2026: the domestic market is saturated, so companies are looking for growth outside China. "Core model technologies" is a separate line item, meaning the company's own AI models for engineering tasks rather than off-the-shelf third-party solutions.

What does Shexu Technology do?

Shexu Technology builds AI-based solutions for industrial design and R&D. The company positions itself as a provider of industrial AI design tools, a distinct niche in which AI is applied to engineering tasks such as automating design, calculations, and engineering documentation, rather than to generating text or images.

More than 300 million yuan in accumulated funding and a Series B round show that the project has moved past the early stage. The explicit mention of "core model technologies" among the funding priorities indicates that the company is betting on its own technology base, not just on integrating other vendors' models.

What this means

Industrial AI design is taking shape as an investment niche in its own right. Shexu Technology's Series B of 100+ million yuan and total funding of 300+ million yuan show that investors are willing to back AI tools for engineering and manufacturing tasks, not only chatbots and generative content.
