#CodeMoment Key Updates from Source Code Capital and MaHui Members

Longbo Chen, founder of ILLA Cloud (hereinafter referred to as "ILLA"), joined ByteDance through campus recruiting after graduation and was part of the early team that built Douyin, experiencing the complete cycle from zero to 300 million users. He later joined Kuaishou, where he led front-end development for Bifeng, an internal startup incubation project, and Kuaikandian. For four years after graduating, Longbo grew at an extraordinary pace, working on innovative businesses inside major tech companies. At the end of 2021, he finally took his leap of faith and embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in the "real" world. Nearly a year later, what insights and growth has he gained?

ILLA is a low-code platform that helps developers rapidly build internal enterprise applications, reducing the time spent on UI and data integration during internal tool development, optimizing enterprise workflows, and providing low-cost, high-quality cloud services for small and medium-sized businesses. While navigating complex business processes, ILLA can deeply integrate with and help companies accelerate innovation and execution in rapidly changing markets — a capability inseparable from Longbo's team, whose extensive experience with innovation projects at major tech companies has given them a profound understanding of enterprise pain points. As an investor at Source Code Capital who has been tracking frontier technologies, Ziheng Li was immediately drawn to this team after meeting Longbo — a team full of innovative spirit, with sharp insights into value needs and solutions, and a forward-looking positioning of their offering.

This episode features Longbo Chen, founder of ILLA Cloud, a young founder who bravely left the comfort of a major tech company to continue innovating and breaking new ground.
