Recently, media outlets have reported that BrainCo, recognized as one of the "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" and a "unicorn" enterprise in the brain-computer interface sector, has successfully secured approximately 2 billion yuan in funding. This achievement marks the second-largest single funding round globally, trailing only behind Elon Musk's Neuralink. On January 8th, a pertinent executive from BrainCo verified this information, revealing that the proceeds from this funding will be allocated to expedite the research and development of core brain-computer interface technologies, push the boundaries of engineering, and facilitate the scaling up and mass production of products. The investor roster for this funding round is truly remarkable, encompassing prominent names such as IDG Capital, Walden International, Lens Technology, LY International Holding, Will Semiconductor, Range Technology, Huazhu Group, TAL Education Group, as well as leading family offices from Hong Kong, China, and the United States. Over the next five to ten years, BrainCo envisions aiding 1 million individuals with limb disabilities in reintegrating into society through the utilization of neuro-controlled prosthetics.
