Anker
安克创新
Anker Innovations (安克创新) is a listed Chinese consumer electronics company — its charging and energy-storage business was built out from a team that grew with the company from roughly 30 people through its IPO — that has also become an active strategic investor in hardware startups. It led a funding round for Keyi Tech in 2022 alongside BlueRun, Shunwei and Xiaomi , co-led Starmax Innovation's 500 million yuan Series A with Cathay Capital and Monolith in 2024 and topped up in the company's 1 billion yuan raise the following year , and backed Squirrel Dynamics, the smart-RV startup founded by Xiao Ang, Anker's first product manager and the originator of its charging business — both Anker founders personally invested at inception . JiaYu Capital holds an investment relationship with Anker, which granted the firm three exclusive investment windows, per an 暗涌Waves interview with David Zhang . Most recently, Anker launched its first hackathon challenge in September 2026 with Linear Capital as a VC partner , a sign it's courting the early-stage hardware community directly.
