函子科技
Functor Z (函子科技) is a Chinese no-code development platform whose flagship product Zion lets users build AI agent workflows without writing code . The company was in Linear Capital's portfolio as of 2022, when co-founder and CEO Lu Jiheng (陆继恒) was named to 36Kr's "X·36Under36" list . During the March 2023 Silicon Valley Bank collapse, Functor Z's primary US dollar account was held at SVB, and Lu scrambled to transfer funds after receiving risk warnings from two investors . By July 2025, the company was demoing Zion at WAIC, positioning the tool for student groups, entrepreneurs, and educators to turn ideas into projects faster .
