RayGF

RayGF (光帆科技) is a Chinese startup building AI-native hardware, best known for visual-perception earbuds and an AI operating system. Co-founded by Kangda Chen, the company has moved fast on fundraising: it raised 130 million RMB within its first three months, per a May 2025 暗涌Waves report, and within roughly a year had completed four rounds totaling nearly 300 million RMB, according to a May 2026 AI闹 interview with Chen. Its investor base mixes financial and strategic capital—CDH Investments, Alpha Startups, Inno Angel Fund, and Bairui Capital on one side, and on the other, a cluster of industrial names including Lenovo, XPeng, Shokz, Goertek, and CATL-affiliated funds, plus Qinghui Investment (linked to GigaDevice founder Zhu Yiming). The strategic backing suggests its product roadmap is tightly coupled with supply-chain and manufacturing partners in audio, batteries, and smart hardware.
