About Shanghai Wanli Network Technology

Shanghai Wanli Network Technology, which operates collaboratively with its Japanese counterpart Onedot Inc. in Tokyo, develops and manages a portfolio of digital platforms targeting specific consumer needs in China. The Shanghai company was established in March 2017, with the Tokyo entity founded in December 2016. The company was co-founded by CEO Tosu Chitoku, whose background includes a tenure as a Principal at Boston Consulting Group's Digital Ventures and strategic roles at Napster Japan. Onedot's initial mission was to 'bring laughter to children and families around the world.'

The company's business model is centered on creating and scaling digital platforms and offering marketing services to other businesses seeking to enter or grow within the Chinese market. Its revenue is generated through its platform services and marketing consultancy. The company operates three main digital platforms. 'Petnote' (宠本本) is a comprehensive O2O service platform for pet owners in China, providing instant retail of pet supplies with 30-60 minute delivery, alongside online vet consultations. 'Babily' (贝贝粒) is one of China's largest digital platforms for mothers and infants, offering a wide array of content and tools for childcare and family life through short-form videos distributed across social media and its own mini-program. '繫康万家' is a cross-border platform that connects patients, primarily from China, with advanced medical services in Japan, including remote second opinions and treatment facilitation.

In addition to its consumer-facing platforms, the company provides digital marketing and strategy services for businesses. This includes market research, promotion, sales, and CRM support, leveraging the operational expertise gained from building its own successful platforms. The company has successfully raised capital, including a Series B funding round, to expand its services, particularly for the 'Petnote' platform, which has established a significant presence in the instant pet-supply retail market across major Chinese cities.
