BlueRun Ventures Continues to Back KunTai Magnetic Levitation in A++ Round | BlueRun Family

Recently, Kuntai Magnetic Levitation completed its Series A++ funding round. The round was led by Tianjin Xianzhilian, with BlueRun Ventures continuing to add to its position. Tianjin Xianzhilian is a fund primarily established by BOE. The proceeds will be directed toward the company's core product — scaling customer validation of its magnetic levitation molecular pumps and R&D for next-generation innovative products — further solidifying its position as a domestic leader in the magnetic levitation molecular pump sector.

BlueRun Ventures led Kuntai's Series A round and has continued to invest in subsequent rounds.

Founded in 2022, Kuntai Magnetic Levitation is a high-tech enterprise focused on magnetic levitation technology R&D and applications. Its core technical team originates from the academicians' group at Beihang University, with nearly two decades of deep technical accumulation and extensive experience in design, R&D, and application. The company currently has a technical team of over 80 people, more than half of whom hold doctoral or postdoctoral degrees.

Kuntai is firmly committed to independent innovation, having independently mastered a series of key technologies including magnetic levitation control algorithms, electromagnetic design, mechanical structures, vacuum design, and high-precision manufacturing processes.

Kuntai Magnetic Levitation has currently launched a range of magnetic levitation molecular pump products including the KTP-4500, KTP-3300, KTP-2200, KTP-1600, KTP-600, KTP-300, KTP240, and KTP-90, completing a full series layout. Multiple products have passed validation by leading customers in the semiconductor and display sectors, making Kuntai the only domestic supplier to date whose magnetic levitation molecular pumps meet semiconductor and display industry requirements — breaking the long-standing foreign monopoly in this "chokepoint" area.

Kuntai also possesses a globally unique mass-producible micro-specialty magnetic levitation technology platform. Building on this platform, it has introduced magnetic levitation air-jet spinning rotor motors and magnetic levitation hydrogen circulation pumps, which have passed testing by downstream leading customers and entered mass production and supply.

This funding round will support Kuntai Magnetic Levitation's testing, validation, and mass production of magnetic levitation molecular pumps, accelerating the domestic substitution of semiconductor-grade magnetic levitation molecular pumps. Lead investor Tianjin Xianzhilian brings abundant industrial resources, and its investment will strongly promote Kuntai's market expansion and industrial synergies. BlueRun Ventures' continued investment also reflects its firm confidence in Kuntai's long-term development.

Yin Zhang, founder of Kuntai Magnetic Levitation, stated: "We are deeply grateful for the trust and support from Xianzhilian and BlueRun Ventures. Semiconductor-grade ultra-high vacuum magnetic levitation molecular pumps are a critical component of national strategic industries. Their domesticization represents not only a tremendous market opportunity for Kuntai but also a weighty responsibility. The Kuntai team will remain focused on core technology breakthroughs and product iteration, committed to becoming a global leading magnetic levitation technology provider and contributing to the independent innovation and upgrading of China's high-end manufacturing."

BlueRun Ventures stated: "From the early stages, BlueRun Ventures has consistently been optimistic about and supportive of the Kuntai Magnetic Levitation team. We have witnessed the team's continuous breakthroughs — from magnetic levitation micro-specialty motors to today's semiconductor-grade magnetic levitation compound molecular pumps — powered by solid technical expertise and deep understanding of industry needs. Our continued support in this round reflects our belief in Kuntai's technology leadership, productization capabilities, and broad market prospects. Kuntai's products hold irreplaceable value particularly in the semiconductor, pan-semiconductor, and emerging strategic sectors. We look forward to the Kuntai team accelerating product iteration and driving magnetic levitation technology to create greater value in high-end manufacturing."
