Incubated by Liu Chunbao of Jilin University and founded by a post-00s team, Lingyan Technology's bionic dexterous face completes tens of millions of yuan in financing
Hangzhou Lingyan Technology has completed a seed round and seed+ round totaling tens of millions of yuan. Investors include Yingdong Capital, Zhejiang Torch Center, Yida Capital, Plum Ventures, and Linglu Capital. The funds will be used for product iteration, core component R&D, and algorithm platform development. The company was founded by Zhao Changyi, a PhD from Jilin University, and has launched the FaceSoul Agent full-stack emotional interaction solution, which uses a cable-driven approach to achieve 32 facial degrees of freedom and features a self-developed lightweight on-device expression generation model. The company has launched four major series—Lingshu M1, Lingshu W1, Lingyun, and Lingneng—and within four months of its founding has reached cooperation or intent-to-cooperate agreements with telecom operators, cultural tourism exhibition venues, and some humanoid robot OEMs.
