Meituan Co-founder Yang Jun Founds AI Education Firm Qihang Xinweilai, Raises 60 Million Yuan

According to Duozhi, Meituan co-founder Yang Jun founded Beijing Qihang Xinweilai Technology Co., Ltd., entering the AI education sector. The company was established in November 2024 with registered capital of 11.235843 million yuan and Zhu Xiaolan as legal representative. Its website states it has completed 60 million yuan in financing, with shareholders including university associate professor Li Ze and former Meituan executives Lai Binqiang and Gan Jiawei. Qihang Xinweilai positions itself in career planning consulting for people aged 18-35, offering AI products such as Dazego AI Zhibao and Baoyan Wang, and reports over 100,000 cumulative users.

This is a new company event in the AI education sector backed by a well-known internet entrepreneur and a university researcher, and its business directly targets students and families making school-admission decisions, representing a substantive change on the supply side of AI education products. For parents and students, it adds an option marketed as AI plus expert planning; for AI education product practitioners, the entry of former Meituan executives means more competitors in the career planning track. It should be noted that the 60 million yuan financing and the 100,000-user figure come from the company's website or the report's retelling, with no independent third-party verification, and the original text provides no quantitative evidence of product effectiveness. Parents and students gain another option marketed as AI plus expert planning for school-admission decisions, though service effectiveness has no independent verification. AI education product practitioners face a new competitor in the career planning track, which already includes K12 education companies, vocational education companies and private education groups.
