Jianbo Yang is the founder and CEO of Keyi Tech (可以科技), a consumer robotics company best known for its AI pet robot Loona. The product launched on Kickstarter in late 2022 and raised $3 million within its first month, built around a software architecture that blends over 1,000 distinct movements into organic behavior. BlueRun Ventures and Source Code Capital have both backed the company, with Source Code Capital leading a Series B round of tens of millions of dollars in 2021 and re-upping subsequently. Yang himself has been profiled as a product-oriented founder with strong iteration capabilities, particularly in merging intelligent technology with design and art. His public commentary has centered on Chinese tech brands going global, a theme he discussed at a BlueRun Ventures event in 2023.
