Xunyi

Hangzhou Xunyi Network Technology Co., Ltd., operating as Xunyi, was established in 2015 by co-founders Liang Zhao, Heng Li, and Lei Zhang, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer. The company has positioned itself in the drone logistics and delivery sector within China, focusing on developing and operating a drone-based delivery network.

Xunyi provides drone-based delivery services, particularly noted for its operations in Anji, China. The business model is centered on a B2B framework, catering to clients who require on-demand delivery of items such as mail, packages, food, and medicine. The company utilizes its proprietary fleet of drones designed for high levels of automation. This includes automated distribution, loading, take-off, cruise, landing, self-unloading, and return functions. The drones feature a payload capacity of up to 5 kilograms and an operational range extending to 10 kilometers, addressing the need for efficient, short-range logistics.

The company's technology portfolio is significant, holding a total of 81 patents. Xunyi's market presence has been supported by institutional investors such as Angel Bay Ventures, and it has successfully completed a Series A funding round, raising $4.4 million in August 2018. This investment has facilitated the company's efforts to build out its delivery network and enhance its technological capabilities. The company is recognized for running the first drone delivery network in China and has received a business license from the CAAC for commercial drone deliveries in urban areas, a notable achievement in the sector.
