What Xiaodian does

Xiaodian (小电) is a Hangzhou-headquartered, privately held Chinese technology company founded in 2016, with a workforce of 101-250 employees. The firmographic record describes the company as providing shared charging services to Chinese consumers, while product-level data from the corporate website at w.dian.so references a CRM offering branded as 小电CRM (Xiaodian CRM). This discrepancy between the firmographic positioning and the named product represents a material data-quality issue that investors should resolve through direct diligence before relying on either characterization.

The company's capital base is its most documented feature: across April and May 2017 it raised approximately $65 million in two consecutive rounds, with a $14.5M round led by Tencent and Vision Plus Capital (with CDH Investments, DT Capital Partners, GSR Ventures, and Incapital participating) and a $50.7M round led by Gaorong Capital and HongShan (HSG) with Tencent and ZWC Partners. This syndicate composition places Xiaodian within the orbit of China's tier-1 venture investors during the peak of the 2017 consumer-internet funding cycle, when shared-charging/power-bank businesses attracted outsized capital.

Operational details are sparse: no app store presence, no published pricing, no named customers, no disclosed revenue, and no post-2017 funding events are recorded. The company is led by founder and CEO Tang Yongbo. Given the dated nature of the funding data and the absence of subsequent operating signals, the current scale, product mix, and viability of the business cannot be reliably inferred from the supplied source material; targeted follow-up on operating status, current revenue, and product-market positioning is required before any investment conclusion can be drawn.
