This round of financing will be mainly used for the construction of the RaaS system and the expansion of scenarios such as industry, promoting robots from "being used at events" to entering real scenarios closer to the frontline of production and operations, such as industrial manufacturing, park operations, warehousing and logistics, and commercial services.
EqualOcean / EO (亿欧) reported on May 20 that Qingtianzu (擎天租) announced,Recently completed Series A and A+ financing rounds, raising hundreds of millions of yuan. After this round of financing, Qingtianzu (擎天租) reached a valuation of 7 billion yuan, officially joining the ranks of unicorn enterprises.
Unlike the previous stage, which mainly focused on display and interactive scenarios such as cultural tourism, commercial performances, exhibitions, and commercial marketing, after this round of financing, Qingtianzu (擎天租) will further shift its business focus to industrial scenarios that are higher frequency and more rigid demand.
Qingtianzu (擎天租) stated that the funding for this round will be mainly used for the construction of the RaaS (Robot as a Service) system and the expansion into scenarios such as industry, promoting robots from "being used at events" to entering real scenarios closer to the front lines of production and operations, such as industrial manufacturing, park operations, warehousing and logistics, and commercial services.
Li Yiyan, CEO of Qingtianzu (擎天租), revealed that the difficulty of robots entering real-world scenarios is not just about "whether there are machines," but whether they can form a stable and replicable application delivery capability. "Especially in scenarios such as industrial and park settings, customers are no longer focused on short-term demonstration effects, but on whether robots can operate continuously, be dispatched on demand, receive timely maintenance, and create actual value in specific tasks."

In less than six months since its establishment, Qingtianzu (擎天租) has completed the construction of the RaaS application service platform, successively launching core systems and functional modules such as Partner SaaS, Global App, intelligent dispatch, and Skill Store, providing underlying support for cross-regional robot scheduling, standardized delivery, and multi-scenario operations.
Meanwhile, Qingtianzu (擎天租) is also rapidly strengthening its organizational capabilities. The company has formed a composite team of over 100 people, with members' backgrounds covering domestic leading platforms, industrial internet, robot operations, and scenario services. It has initially established an organizational system covering business development, scenario solutions, fulfillment and delivery, technical support, and ecosystem collaboration.

It has accumulated extensive delivery experience in scenarios such as cultural tourism, commercial performances, exhibitions, retail, office, and education. With the completion of this round of financing, Qingtianzu (擎天租) will further upgrade from a "robot rental platform" to a "robot large-scale application service platform," accelerating the deployment of robots in more industrial scenarios.
