Crossing
十字路口Crossing
Crossing (十字路口) is a Chinese AI media and builder-community platform founded by Koji — who is also a Venture Partner at ZhenFund — and co-founded by Ronghui, a former Silicon Valley correspondent with five years on the tech beat . Its output centers on a long-running interview podcast and hands-on AI product/model reviews, but it has grown beyond media into physical community: together with Aligns AI it launched the AI Hacker House in Shanghai's Caohejing district, a space for young AI builders that hosts recurring hackathons like Ship it Sunday . It has also partnered with ZhenFund on a Token Grant project for AI entrepreneurs and built a 300-square-meter pop-up "AI Daydream Stage" at AWS's 2025 summit . One notable episode: in 2025, Crossing publicly raised a naming dispute when Yonghao Luo launched a same-named podcast, asking his team to pick a different name to avoid confusion .
