About BOLO

Beijing Fengqu Internet Information Service Co., Ltd., operating as BOLO, is a digital entertainment company headquartered in Beijing, China. The firm was established in 2016 by a team that includes the renowned Chinese singer and musician Wang Feng, who serves as CEO. Wang Feng's prior experience as a co-founder of the headphone brand Fiil complements his leadership at BOLO. He is joined by co-founders Chen Chaoren, a serial internet entrepreneur who founded 'Shi Shen Yao Yao' and was the CTO of chinavista.com, and Wu Sheng, a co-founder of 'Luo Ji Si Wei' and former vice president at Vancl and senior vice president at JD.com.

The company has developed a music-focused social application that connects musicians, music critics, and enthusiasts. Initially launched as 'Suiyue' (碎乐), the platform evolved into 'BOLO' (菠萝BOLO), a broader pan-music video social platform. The application enables users to share music clips, videos, and live shows. A distinct feature allows users to create their own music by uploading lyrics. The platform incorporates functionalities similar to Q&A apps and bullet-screen video applications, where comments from viewers scroll across the screen in real-time. It is structured into several categories, including musicians, Q&A, music reviews, and rankings, fostering a community where users can evaluate works, and certified users can publish formal reviews.

BOLO operates within the social platform software market, with a focus on mobile and social content. The business is venture capital-backed, having gone through multiple funding rounds. It secured a Seed Round in August 2016, an A-round in September 2017, and a Series B round in August 2018, raising a significant amount from investors such as Granite Asia (formerly GGV Capital), Jeneration Capital, ZhenFund, and Zero2IPO Venture Capital.
