DeepSeek Completes First External Funding Round, Raising $7.4 Billion - DeepSeek has completed its first external fundraising round, raising more than RMB 50 billion (approximately $7.4 billion). The company was reportedly valued at over $50 billion. - Investors are investing through a limited partnership (LP) managed by CEO Liang Wenfeng, rather than directly into DeepSeek itself. This structure allows Liang to maintain absolute control over the company. - The China National AI Industry Investment Fund is the sole exception, investing directly in DeepSeek and receiving voting rights. The fund has committed RMB 1 billion. - Ordinary investors receive no voting rights, but gain access to financial information and priority rights in future financing rounds. All investor stakes are subject to a five-year lock-up period, designed to discourage short-term profit-taking. - Major investors include Liang Wenfeng (RMB 20 billion), Tencent (RMB 10 billion), CATL (RMB 5 billion), JD.com, NetEase, and IDG Capital (RMB 3 billion each). - DeepSeek’s management reportedly conducts due diligence on the identities of LPs backing investment funds, aiming to prevent the entry of unwanted investors. - DeepSeek had previously operated without external funding, but rising compute costs and intensifying competition for AI talent have increased the need for capital.
