Jidou Technology (极豆科技) Raises CNY 100M Series A
Shanghai-based automotive AI company Jidou Technology (JDO) has raised CNY 100 million in Series A funding. The round was backed by Huamin Investment (华民投), Jinyu Maowu Capital (金雨茂物), Zhangke Yaokun Fund (张科垚坤), and Dianliang Capital (点亮资本).
What the Company Does
Founded in 2014, Jidou Technology develops an embodied AI stack for vehicles and robots. The company's technology combines its proprietary Canghai multimodal foundation model with AIOS runtime orchestration, AI agents, and cloud services.
Its cockpit AI and digitalization solutions are in mass production with more than 30 automakers worldwide. Named customers include Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, SAIC, GAC, Geely, and Xiaomi. According to the company, its solutions power over 15 million vehicles.
Scale and Footprint
Jidou Technology is headquartered in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, and also operates from Beijing, Wuhan, Hefei, and Hong Kong. The company's reach across both Chinese and international automakers positions it within the growing market for in-vehicle AI and digital cockpit systems.
Why This Matters for Acquisition Watchers
The Series A brings Jidou Technology to a stage where its embodied AI stack — spanning a multimodal foundation model, runtime orchestration, agents, and cloud services — is already deployed at production scale across a broad automaker base. For parties tracking automotive AI assets, the combination of a proprietary foundation model and mass-production relationships with more than 30 global automakers is a notable profile.
