What's the endgame? The startup builds ultra-portable e-paper reading hardware under the Yuexingtong brand. It plans to use the funds to lock in e-paper screen supply and production capacity ahead of demand, develop new hardware, improve software interaction, and explore AI features.
Why now? Securing screen supply and manufacturing capacity early suggests the company is preparing to scale. It also aims to expand its content licensing and push into overseas markets.
The signal: A round led entirely by returning investors — including Xiaohongshu and prominent funds Shunwei and Matrix Partners China — points to steady confidence in the niche e-paper category, even as the raise stays modest in size.
