The firm is now valued at approximately 15 billion yuan, or about $2.21 billion, and its co-founder Wei Zhang has made the company’s next move abundantly clear: going public. “Listing is a must,” Zhang said. ## The money and who’s writing the checks The pre-IPO round, completed on July 14, 2026, drew a notably international roster of backers. UAE-based Stone Venture, Italy’s GGG, and Germany’s Redstone VC all participated, joining a cap table that already includes Chinese tech heavyweights like JD.com and Alibaba from earlier rounds. This round comes just five months after LimX raised a separate $200 million in Series B funding back in February 2026. That earlier round was earmarked for research and development. LimX was founded in January 2022 by Wei Zhang and Li Zhang, the latter a former COO at autonomous driving firm WeRide. ## What LimX actually builds The company’s product lineup centers on humanoid robots, specifically its Luna and Oli models, along with a TRON series. LimX launched its COSA agentic operating system in 2026, which functions as the brain coordinating motion-control technologies across its humanoid platforms. The company also develops embodied manipulation algorithms. The fresh capital will go toward advancing humanoid platforms, motion-control technologies, and the COSA operating system. ## What this means for investors LimX has explicitly distanced itself from any connection to cryptocurrency, blockchain, or digital assets. There are no tokens. This is a traditional equity story through and through. JD.com and Alibaba appearing as strategic investors means LimX likely has commercial relationships with two of China’s largest e-commerce and logistics operators. **Disclosure:** This article was edited by Editorial Team.
