Founded in April 2015, the company, formally known as Hangzhou Youshu Financial Information Service Co., Ltd., operates as a big data credit reporting company. It specializes in providing enterprise credit services, leveraging a vast database of over 45 million companies in China to break down information silos. The firm serves a diverse client base that includes financial institutions like banks and fintech platforms, as well as government agencies, offering services for credit risk control, investment due diligence, and digital governance. The business model centers on integrating multi-dimensional data sources to create a comprehensive credit service platform for both businesses and individuals.
The company was founded by Zhang Lijiang, who serves as CEO. Zhang graduated from Zhejiang University with a bachelor's degree in computer science and an MBA. His professional background includes roles at Alibaba as a commercial search product leader and at China UnionPay's big data subsidiary, UnionPay Smart, where he was the Vice President responsible for product, operations, and market development. This experience in big data applications and market development directly informs the company's strategy. The founding team also includes CTO and co-founder Liang Xiejun.
Youshu has secured strategic investments, completing a Series A funding round of $1.5 million in December 2016. The company is recognized as a national high-tech enterprise and has received backing from entities such as Zhejiang Tsinghua Delta Research Institute. It has developed key big data platforms for government initiatives, including for Zhejiang Province's "Maximum One Visit" reform and economic risk monitoring platforms.
