DeepSeek's burgeoning popularity has garnered significant attention from various sectors. Since the turn of the year, regions across the board have undertaken introspection, while venture capital (VC) firms managing government-backed funds have frequently faced inquiries from limited partners (LPs): "We've invested substantially in you; why haven't you yet backed a success story akin to DeepSeek's founder, Liang Wenfeng?" Notably, DeepSeek has yet to initiate any fundraising rounds, and no institution has secured a successful investment, somewhat alleviating the pressure on VC firms. A partner from a southern China-based institution confided to Rongzhong News that should Liang Wenfeng open up funding, the competition among institutions would be intense and hard to rationalize. Leveraging its distinctive technological prowess and innovative business model, DeepSeek has swiftly ascended in the realm of artificial intelligence, becoming a pivotal point of interest within the industry.
