Onemu Technology
一牧科技
Onemu Technology (一牧科技) is a Beijing-based provider of data-intelligent ranch solutions for the dairy and livestock industry, founded in 2015 by CEO Ma Zhifen . The company develops YIMUCloud, a SaaS platform that uses cloud computing, IoT, big data, and AI to manage precision dairy farming operations—by 2022 it was serving 46 dairy groups and 447 ranches covering over 1.1 million cows . Onemu also created the DBI index, a benchmarking metric for dairy farm sustainable profitability .
The company has pursued a deliberate go-to-market strategy of proving its system with smaller ranches before approaching large enterprise customers like China Modern Dairy, which it classifies as "major KA clients" . It has established strategic partnerships with research institutions including Jilin University and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and jointly won a first prize in the 2019–2021 National Agricultural, Livestock, and Fishery Harvest Awards . In July 2023, Onemu raised a tens-of-millions RMB angel round led exclusively by Linear Capital, which it planned to use for R&D and market expansion .
