People often ask us: What is the scarcest resource in embodied AI?

Computing power can be rented. Algorithms can be open-sourced. Supply chains can be built step by step. But truly exceptional technical talent is different. The compounding value of the time and expertise they invest in building products is an irreplaceable, asymmetric asset.

We are not simply allocating capital. We are investing in the beta of embodied AI—its broader industry potential. But the real alpha comes from entrepreneurs who dare to rewrite the rules of the physical world.

Driven by this belief, Galaxea, together with Cathay Capital, officially launches the Xingtu Program, an initiative dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs in embodied AI.

Our motto: “Forge Ahead, Reach for the Stars Together.”

Our core commitment is simple: “No Strings Attached. Real Support.”

We're Looking for People Who Share Our Vision

The embodied AI industry encompasses an extensive value chain—AI, robotics, hardware platforms, sensors, data, manufacturing, applications, and services. Every component is interconnected, and no single company can build the entire ecosystem alone.

At our recent Global Developer Conference, Galaxea presented its complete technology roadmap for the first time.

Embodied AI is progressing through three major stages: Instinctive Intelligence, Operational Intelligence, and Evolutionary Intelligence. While robots were traditionally defined by humans, the next generation will increasingly be defined by AI.

Galaxea's independently developed G0.5 VLA foundation model has ranked first across six leading international benchmarks and has been officially open-sourced.

Meanwhile, Galaxea has jointly established Yishu Intelligence (亦数智能) with partners in Beijing E-Town and launched the One Million Hours of High-Quality Real-World Data Initiative.

Industrial success has never been the achievement of a single company. It is the collective accomplishment of an entire ecosystem.

The Xingtu Program is designed to identify promising founders through technological insight and accelerate their growth through industrial resources.

We're looking for entrepreneurs who are ready to take this journey with us.

What We Believe and How We Identify Potential

In less than a year, Galaxea has invested in nearly ten companies, achieving a combined unrealized return of more than 5× on paper.

Behind these results is a distinctive approach to identifying and supporting promising ventures.

01 | Discovery — Finding Exceptional Founders

We leverage a world-class AI academic network centered on Tsinghua University, particularly its Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, alongside Galaxea's upstream and downstream industrial ecosystem and hundreds of developers and partners worldwide.

Together, these networks help us continuously discover exceptional entrepreneurs.

02 | Evaluation — Recognizing Opportunities Before They Become Consensus

We believe in making forward-looking judgments at the frontiers of technology, even when those judgments challenge prevailing industry assumptions.

Over the past three years, many of Galaxea's early assessments have become industry consensus six to twelve months later, despite initially being considered unconventional.

03 | Empowerment — Supporting Growth Beyond Capital

We provide support across three dimensions:

• Strategic guidance: Industry-wide perspectives and insights into emerging technology trends.
• Business development: Discussions on R&D priorities and insights into real-world application opportunities.
• Ecosystem connections: Access to broader industrial networks, strategic partners, and capital resources.

What the Xingtu Program Offers

01 | Seed Funding

Direct early-stage investment from Galaxea to help promising startups get off the ground.

02 | Mentorship and Expert Exchange

Opportunities for in-depth discussions with Galaxea's senior executives, Cathay Capital partners, and industrial investors.

03 | Industry Connections

Access to Galaxea's supply chain network, opportunities to showcase solutions to downstream customers and through domestic and international sales channels, and connections to relevant policy resources from local government partners across China.

04 | R&D Support

Early access and beta-testing opportunities for Galaxea's data platforms and R&D toolchains, along with opportunities to participate in in-person training sessions and industry networking events.

RMB 1 Billion. 100 Startups. Five Years.5Years

Over the next five years, we plan to invest RMB 1 billion across 100 early-stage companies.

Our investments will focus on four key areas: next-generation core technologies, data-driven embodied AI, breakthroughs in real-world applications, and critical robotic components.

Embodied AI is artificial intelligence for the physical world. Built upon foundation models, countless Physical AI Agents will emerge, gradually becoming part of everyday operations across industries.

We hope to be among the first to work alongside the entrepreneurs building these future agents.

We believe a startup's first institutional investment should be smart money—capital that comes with access to technology, data, and real-world application opportunities.

The Xingtu Program aims to be your first call, and a long-term partner throughout your entrepreneurial journey.

Who Can Apply?

We welcome early-stage startups in embodied AI and robotics that have not progressed beyond the angel funding round, as well as teams with a clear entrepreneurial vision.

Eligible areas include robotic hardware platforms, embodied AI foundation models and data platforms, core components, downstream industry applications, and intelligent hardware.

How to Join

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with no fixed deadline.

You can apply directly by email or through a referral from a Galaxea partner.
