Bessemer (Shanghai) Technology, founded by Assistant Professor Zhu Wenjun from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, has successfully raised millions in angel funding from the Pudong AI Seed Fund. Established in 2025 with a registered capital of 2 million yuan, the company holds two patents and aims to optimize motor technology and establish mass production lines with the new funding.
This funding is significant as it marks a shift in investment focus towards core components like joint motors, which have been underdeveloped in China. While many domestic motor technologies remain in the experimental phase, Bessemer is building a complete chain from electromagnetic simulation to standardized hardware, addressing the gap between laboratory innovations and industrial production.
Looking ahead, Bessemer's product line includes the E series and S series motors, designed for humanoid robots and medical devices, which could disrupt the market by offering lighter, more efficient alternatives to traditional motors. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication for upcoming product launches or additional funding rounds.
