Recently, Shanghai Velowind Technology Network Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Velowind"), a investee company of Shenzhen Longcharm Holdings Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Longcharm Group"), completed its Angel+ round of fund raising with a post-investment valuation of nearly RMB 100 million. The funds will be used for technological upgrades, fleet expansion, cultural tourism cooperation, and optimization of the AI matching system.
Longcharm Group is a comprehensive holding company focusing on technology, culture, education, resources, health, and investment. Having recognized the potential of the outdoor sports and cultural tourism integration track at an early stage, Longcharm Group made a strategic equity investment in Velowind. This successful financing round and valuation increase reflect Longcharm Group's forward-looking investment vision.
Mr. Zhao Mengda, CEO of Longcharm Group, stated: "Velowind possesses a compliance vehicle source barrier, scenario integration capabilities, and a clear profit path. We are optimistic about its ability to solve rural tourism attraction challenges through market-oriented means. This new investment validates the strong value of the project. Longcharm Group will continue to empower Velowind and support it in becoming a leading platform in the outdoor lifestyle service sector."
Velowind is a one-stop lifestyle service platform for outdoor sports scenarios. Using legally compliant outdoor-specific vehicles as an entry point, it integrates four major businesses: vehicle rental, event publishing, equipment trading, and team leader incubation. With AI, it intelligently matches activities, routes, vehicles, and users. The platform serves individual users, event organizers, and local cultural tourism authorities, addressing pain points in outdoor travel such as inconvenient transportation, insufficient support, scattered resources, and low organizational efficiency. Its core strengths include its own fleet, proprietary patents, scenario data accumulation, and cultural tourism coordination capabilities. The business model covers rental income, event commissions, equipment commissions, and secondary transit revenue from scenic areas, aiming to build an integrated ecosystem of "outdoor sports + new cultural tourism + new consumption."
Velowind's main business direction is highly aligned with No. 1 Central Document's directives on "deepening the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism" and "cultivating new consumption formats such as leisure camping." By organizing outdoor activities, bringing in visitor flows, and promoting local routes, the platform has helped several counties develop outdoor-themed routes and train rural team leaders, driving local accommodation, dining, and agricultural product sales. It has become a typical model of "empowering rural revitalization through outdoor traffic."
Liu Hailiang, founder of Velowind, stated that the company will continue to respond to the national call for "deep integration of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas," deepen collaboration with local cultural tourism authorities, and contribute to comprehensive rural revitalization.
After this financing round, Velowind will accelerate its nationwide expansion and push forward the dual-wheel drive strategy of "smart outdoor + rural cultural tourism."
