About Yunyou Freight

Founded in 2016 by Zhou Jilong, Yunyou Freight operated from Chaoyang, China, as a developer of AI-enabled freight transportation solutions. The company's core business was providing a business-to-business software platform that utilized artificial intelligence to assist clients with logistics scheduling, route planning, dynamic pricing, and operational decision-making. This technology was designed to replace inefficient, experience-based manual processes with computational analysis, optimized modeling, and machine learning, thereby enhancing operational efficiency for logistics customers.

The firm's business model focused on offering intelligent algorithms to address various challenges within the logistics industry. By developing a platform that streamlined freight transportation operations, Yunyou Freight aimed to serve businesses in need of optimized logistics management. The company successfully raised capital over five funding rounds, attracting institutional investors such as Tencent, 5Y Capital, Bell Capital, BlueRun Ventures, and Albatross Venture. Its most recent funding was a Series B round on September 2, 2021. The funds raised were intended to expand the company's operational scope and further its digital research and development efforts.

Despite its efforts and securing notable investors, Yunyou Freight is now reported as a deadpooled company. Throughout its operational history, the company was situated in a competitive market, with numerous other funded and exited companies in the freight and logistics technology space.
