- 2024 ChinaVenture Rising 100 List

ChinaVenture evaluated companies across three dimensions — external attention, industry synergy, and industry influence — through a process of open applications, surveys, market research, expert interviews, and data analysis to determine the final list.


This marks the fifth year that ChinaVenture has published the Rising 100 list. This year's list focuses on high-growth, actively funded companies in artificial intelligence, robotics, healthcare, and other technology innovation sectors, with "Rising" (锐, ruì) in the title. Rui means sharpness — from metal, with the sound of dui — naturally cutting, born to forge ahead, standing out in a world of infinite variety.

According to survey data and CVSource statistics, approximately 75% of listed companies are at pre-Series D funding stages, indicating that investors have placed substantial trust and support in high-growth-potential startups. Notably, some companies completed multiple funding rounds in less than a year, demonstrating strong capital market recognition, reflecting investor enthusiasm for quality assets, and injecting continuous vitality into China's technology industry.
