NextFin News — Consumer-grade embodied-intelligence company Nuoyin Intelligent completed a single RMB 500 million ($70 million) Angel++ financing round on Monday.
Matrix Partners China led the round, with participation from Redpoint Ventures, SenseTime Guoxiang Capital, Walden International and the L2F Photon Entrepreneurs Fund. Proceeds will fund development of more generalized embodied large models, continued iteration of the GLOW generative world model, and acceleration of product validation and mass production.
Founded in 2025 by former Huawei Noah’s Ark Laboratory generative-model lead Li Yinchuan and co-founders with DJI product experience, the company focuses on household robots capable of perception-generation-execution loops in real home environments. Its first product, the KNOWIN-X1, is advancing toward engineering verification. The team now exceeds 190 people, with more than two-thirds holding doctoral or higher degrees. The round follows earlier seed, angel and Angel+ financings that already valued the firm above RMB 2 billion.
