Meituan Strategic Investment
美团战投
Meituan Strategic Investment (美团战投) is the corporate strategic investment arm of Meituan, the local-life services platform (03690.HK), distinct from its affiliated fund Meituan Longzhu (美团龙珠) — in the Independent Variable Robotics Series A, the two invested side by side, with the strategic arm leading and Longzhu following . In elsewhere's corpus, its clearest footprint is in embodied AI: it led the several-hundred-million-yuan Series A of Independent Variable Robotics (自变量机器人) in 2025, per a Unity Ventures portfolio update , and when the company closed a nearly 1 billion yuan A+ round led by Alibaba Cloud and Guoke Investment in September 2025, Meituan Strategic Investment super-pro-rata followed as an existing shareholder . The entity card also ties parent Meituan to a strategic stake in SiliconFlow , though elsewhere's corpus doesn't offer a fuller profile of the arm's team, size, or broader mandate.
