SJTU-Yunqi AI Angel Fund

The SJTU-Yunqi AI Angel Fund (交大-云启AI天使基金) is an early-stage investment vehicle launched in 2025 by Yunqi Capital in partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Artificial Intelligence Institute and SJTU Engineering Research Institute . It targets pre-seed and seed-stage AI startups, with stated focus areas including large-model industry applications, embodied intelligence, and AI chips, though its scope is not strictly limited to these sectors or to SJTU alumni .

The fund sits within a broader Yunqi-SJTU collaboration that includes the separate "Yuanqi Development Fund" research donations and joint ecosystem events . Yunqi founding partner Mao Chengyu has described the fund's rationale as helping AI founders bridge technical depth with commercial acumen by combining Yunqi's early-stage investment experience with the university's research pipeline and incubator resources . One disclosed portfolio company is Kongshanci Technology (空山慈科技), a brain-computer interface platform that received pre-A funding from the fund in early 2026 .
