Hyperdimensional Dynamics announced the completion of over 500 million RMB in angel+ series funding, with investors including Vertex Capital, Fangguang Capital, and Wanshi Capital. The funds will be used for foundation model R&D, embodied application deployment, and industry ecosystem expansion. The company was founded in July 2025, and its R&D and business already cover multiple links including data, models, bodies, and infrastructure.
The founding team includes Yu Jie, former Huawei autonomous driving business executive; Luo Ping, professor at the University of Hong Kong's School of Computing and Data Science; and Zheng Cunyuan, a serial robotics entrepreneur. The three bring, respectively, complex-system mass-production deployment, model algorithms, and robot body capabilities—this forms the basis for Hyperdimensional Dynamics to advance simultaneously across data, models, and bodies.
Li Wei, executive partner at Vertex Investment, said that the path to realizing embodied AI has still not converged, and when data, models, and bodies are advanced separately, it is difficult to determine which layer the problem lies in; therefore, he values teams capable of defining full-stack standards. Vertex Capital's investment history in robotics includes leading Jizhijia's A+ round in 2017, becoming the sole institutional investor in Unitree Robotics' Pre-A+ round in 2020, and successively investing in companies such as Jingfeng Medical, Songling Robotics, and Songyan Dynamics.
