In March 2026, Manifold AI, a cutting-edge company specializing in world model technology, proudly announced the successful closure of its Pre-A round financing, raising nearly 200 million yuan. This funding round was co-led by Huakong Fund and Wuxi Venture Capital, with Datai Capital also participating. Notably, existing investors Legend Capital, Cowin Capital, and Inno Fund demonstrated their strong confidence in the company by fully subscribing to or even exceeding their previous investment commitments, making additional investments. Established in late May 2025, Manifold AI stands out as the first startup in China to harness its proprietary world models as embodied foundational models for robots. The company is dedicated to advancing the research and development of physically realistic world models and embodied AI applications, paving the way for a new era in robotics and artificial intelligence.
