Farewell to That Tiger | BlueRun Ventures January Report
It's an ending, and a beginning.
January is the most distinctive month of the year. It marks the beginning of the Gregorian calendar year, yet often falls at the end of the Lunar calendar year. It's a moment suited equally for sealing things away and for starting anew.
This past January, BlueRun Ventures and our portfolio companies received numerous awards — recognition bestowed upon us at the close of the Lunar year. Meanwhile, new developments were also taking root: Moyun Technology secured a new round of strategic financing, Penglai Data was selected for Shanghai's 2022 "Sci-Tech Innovation Action Plan" Tech Giant Program, and Youibot's mobile robots appeared in The Wandering Earth II. In different ways, we are participating in the imagining of humanity's future.
Perhaps every new beginning gestates within an old ending. At the close of Life of Pi, Pi parts ways with the tiger, ending his wild drift at sea and returning to life on land. It is a metaphor that never grows old. This January, we too bid farewell to the Year of the Tiger, and to that tiger. A new adventure begins.

The proceeds will be used primarily to continue increasing R&D investment, strengthening its intelligent automated offensive and defensive product matrix, providing clients with comprehensive information security services, and pioneering a new generation of security service models that use offense to drive defense. BlueRun Ventures previously led Moyun Technology's Series A round and made multiple follow-on investments in subsequent rounds.
