Founded in 2017 in Chengdu, Guoxiaomei has so far placed hundreds of snack shelves in the Chengdu offices of Tencent, Alibaba, China Telecom and Focus Media. It is building a new headquarter base, which integrates artificial intelligence, smart devices, intelligent logistics, and so on.
This Series C financing round was from an undisclosed group of investors. Previously, the company grabbed financing funding from IDG, FreesFund, Meng Xing, the founder of Chinese restaurant Diaoyeniunan, and Luo Xi, the founder of smart hardware incubator, Redianchang. The capital raised in the latest financing round will be used to put more unmanned convenience stores in new cities, as well as further develop new types of smart vending machines.
