About Xianguo
Xianguo operated as an online news aggregator based in Beijing, China. The company was established in 2007, securing $2 million in an Angel funding round in December 2009 from investors including Kleiner Perkins and Shanda.
The platform functioned as a personal news reader, allowing users to aggregate content from various sources. At one point, Xianguo reported having over 8 million registered users, with nearly 5 million on mobile devices. Its data center managed over 3 billion information entries from approximately 4.5 million sources. The business model centered on providing a free news aggregation service to its user base, and it competed in a market with other major news platforms like Toutiao and News Break.
The company was founded by Gongjun, who previously served as the Technical Director for Sina.com. The platform provided a customizable reading service, positioning itself as a significant player in China's digital media landscape. However, despite its initial user growth and backing from notable investors, Xianguo is now listed as a dead-pooled company.
