Sequoia China and Unitree Robotics Establish “Shanyu Innovation Program” to Focus on Early-Stage Embodied AI Projects

TechFlow reported on October 28 that, according to Sequoia Hui, Sequoia China and Unitree Robotics announced the joint establishment of the “Shanyu Innovation Program,” focusing on discovering and investing in early-stage startups in embodied AI, robotics applications and their upstream and downstream critical technologies, as well as other frontier hard tech fields, with particular attention to young entrepreneurial teams. The program will adopt an “engineer + investor” investment methodology: Unitree Robotics provides cutting-edge technical insights and engineering guidance, while Sequoia China provides capital support and post-investment services, helping teams start from an idea, a piece of code, or a prototype and gradually build scalable products. Its core strategy is to “understand technology and industry, identify opportunities early, make quick decisions, value founders, and avoid unnecessary interference.”
