Recent Family announcements include Gestalt Technology (格式塔科技), which claims to be China's first company focused on ultrasonic brain-computer interfaces and closed a 420 million yuan angel+ round in July 2026 with Dalton Venture leading ; Astribot (星尘智能), a cable-driven humanoid robotics company that secured thousand-unit industrial deployment deals and released its second-generation embodied-intelligence model Lumo-2 in mid-2026 ; and KoSyne NeuroTech (空山慈科技), a non-invasive BCI and neuromodulation platform that received Dalton's exclusive angel investment before its 2026 Pre-A round . Dalton's own 2024 year-in-review described its strategy as centering on four "embraces": industrial collaboration, overseas business, AI empowerment, and cross-sector commercial application .
