DeepSeek has successfully drawn in several industrial capital players in its Series B funding round, with Shixi Capital—a firm closely tied to Zhu Yiming, the visionary behind GigaDevice and ChangXin Technology—planning to invest a staggering 5 billion yuan. As a corporate venture capital (CVC) entity specializing in semiconductor industry investments, Shixi Capital has already made its mark across various semiconductor sectors. It has successfully steered several projects to list on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, reaping substantial investment returns. At present, in the realm of hard technology investment, industrial capitals harness their strengths in industry chain resources to offer unparalleled support to the enterprises they invest in, setting them apart from purely financial capital sources. Zhu Yiming's significant investment in DeepSeek this time around underscores the strategic foresight of industrial investors, who anticipate that AI large models will be the catalyst for a fresh growth cycle within the semiconductor industry.
