Booster Robotics Secures Over RMB 100 Million in Funding, Validating "Real Delivery" Strategy

Beijing, China – Booster Robotics, a prominent Chinese humanoid robot company, has successfully closed a significant funding round exceeding RMB 100 million (approximately $14 million USD). The investment was led by IDG Capital, with participation from E-town Capital and continued support from existing shareholders, underscoring strong market confidence in the company's focus on reliable, scaled delivery. This latest capital infusion is earmarked for product research and development, large-scale mass production, and the expansion of its ecosystem platform.

The company has already achieved notable commercial success, having shipped over 700 humanoid robots globally to more than 200 clients, with over 50% of these shipments going to overseas markets. Its new Booster K1 model saw its first batch sell out in just 20 minutes upon launch. Booster Robotics notably offers a "real delivery" guarantee for the K1, promising 3X compensation if certain orders miss their deadlines, reflecting serious confidence in its supply chain capabilities.

Booster Robotics attributes its growing customer base to its strategy of prioritizing reliability and durability over flashy demonstrations. This approach resonates with clients who seek practical and robust robotic solutions. The company plans a substantial increase in production capacity, aiming to manufacture tens of thousands of units next year to meet escalating demand and facilitate wider market adoption.

The company's business model is built on a dual "Competition + Education" strategy. Booster Robotics leverages its success in high-stakes events like RoboCup to validate its technology, as exemplified by the Booster T1 helping Tsinghua University win the 2025 RoboCup World Championship. Concurrently, its Booster Agents open platform offers drag-and-drop programming, making advanced robotics accessible beyond specialized researchers.

IDG Capital, a globally recognized private equity firm with a strong focus on early to growth-stage technology companies in China, led the funding round. The firm has a history of investing in disruptive technologies and has actively backed other significant players in the AI and robotics sectors. This investment aligns with IDG Capital's strategy to support "hard-tech" innovations and companies demonstrating clear commercial potential and scalable operations in emerging markets.
