Zhuimi (追觅) founder Yu Hao reportedly launches new Shenzhen tech firm Yunhai Shengteng (云海盛腾)

Serial entrepreneur opens a new chapter in Shenzhen

It has been reported that Yu Hao, the founder behind consumer-robotics and cordless-cleaning brand Zhuimi (追觅), has established a new technology company in Shenzhen called Yunhai Shengteng (云海盛腾). The registration, first noted by Chinese media, marks the latest move by a high-profile consumer-hardware entrepreneur into a broader tech landscape centered on AI, robotics and smart devices.

From home appliances to a wider tech play

Zhuimi built a reputation in China and abroad for high-performance cordless vacuums and smart home appliances, competing in a market long dominated by incumbents and foreign brands. For Western readers: Zhuimi is a consumer-electronics startup that scaled quickly by combining design, direct-to-consumer sales and overseas expansion. Why does this matter now? Serial founders often use that operational experience to pursue adjacent opportunities — software, AI orchestration, or component-level innovation — where margins and strategic value can be higher.

Shenzhen, geopolitics and the push for tech sovereignty

The choice of Shenzhen is notable. The city remains China’s hardware and startup hub, and entrepreneurs there are increasingly positioning themselves amid a shifting geopolitical backdrop: export controls, sanctions and a national push for chip, AI and supply-chain self-reliance. It has been reported that Yunhai Shengteng will operate in the broader tech space, though the firm’s precise focus and funding details have not been disclosed. What will Yu Hao build next — a new generation of smart devices, an AI platform, or something else entirely? Investors and competitors will be watching closely.

Sources and next steps

The initial report comes via ifeng; further details such as business scope, management team and capital structure remain to be confirmed. Reportedly, more filings or announcements may follow as the new company defines its strategy and public presence.
