Edited by Taylor From Gasgoo

Gasgoo Munich-Botshare has closed Angel and Angel+ funding rounds, raising a total in the hundreds of millions of yuan. The round was led by Broad-Ocean Motor, THE Capital, and Minzhuo Electric, with participation from Yuehua Entertainment , Fuzhuo Investment, Mingjia Capital, Ruizi Venture Capital, Tianji Investment, Jiaxing Nantou, and Zhixing Investment. Existing shareholder Dafeng Industry oversubscribed the round. Proceeds will be used to build a nationwide standardized fulfillment network, upgrade asset and scheduling systems, and empower the upstream and downstream supply chain using real-world scenario data.

Just prior to this, Botshare announced the completion of a seed round in mid-January, backed by investors including Hillhouse Ventures, Fosun Rong Capital, THE Capital, the Dafeng Fund, and an embodied intelligence affiliate of the Zhangjiang Group. That marks three funding rounds in just three months—a strong signal that capital markets endorse the platform’s model, its service network capabilities, and its application strategy.

Botshare CEO Li Yiyan revealed that in this latest round, most investors brought business opportunities alongside their capital.

Across the supply chain, the entry of hard-tech giants like Broad-Ocean Motor and Minzhuo Electric will not only accelerate the large-scale verification of robots in industrial environments but also significantly boost the turnover and maintenance efficiency of robotic assets. Meanwhile, the additional investment from existing shareholder Dafeng Industry introduces a massive nationwide retail network and cultural, sports, and tourism exhibition scenarios—speeding up the verification of commercial robot deployment in broader markets.

The round also brings in a pan-entertainment crossover ecosystem. Mingjia Capital, founded by renowned actor Huang Xiaoming, has teamed up with top domestic entertainment content company Yuehua Entertainment to enter the space. This partnership positions the platform to explore innovative "robot + entertainment" leasing services in high-visibility scenarios such as large-scale commercial performances, concerts, and super-IP events.

Botshare was jointly established in December 2025 by embodied intelligence players including Zhiyuan Robotics and Feikuo Tech. The company is chaired by Jiang Qingsong, a partner at Zhiyuan Robotics, with Feikuo Tech founder Li Yiyan serving as CEO. It has also attracted several senior executives, including former Ele.me vice president Chen Yanxia.

Since its official launch on December 22, 2025, the platform has logged more than 5,500 orders. The total number of deployable robotic assets has surpassed 3,000 units, while applications for city partners have exceeded 20,000.
