Recently, Zhang Yuting officially made her debut at a Tsinghua University exchange event as the "President of Moonshot," marking her transformation in the field of tech investment. Zhang Yuting is responsible for the company's overall strategy and commercialization, including fundraising and new product development, becoming an important force driving the company's growth.
According to the information, Zhang Yuting and Yang Zhilin, the founder of Moonshot, are both alumni of Tsinghua University. Previously, she led investments in Yang Zhilin's Cyclegpt at GSR Ventures. At the end of 2022, Yang Zhilin left Cyclegpt due to significant breakthroughs in AGI technology and founded Moonshot. To compensate for his own experience gaps, he invited Zhang Yuting to join, believing that she not only has deep business and strategic insights but is also willing to take risks and enter new fields.
Moonshot was established in April 2023 and quickly attracted the attention of well-known investment institutions such as Sequoia China and ZhenFund, with its valuation rapidly rising to 3 billion US dollars. Zhang Yuting played a key role in the financing, especially in the Alibaba funding deal, where she was seen as the most important behind-the-scenes driver.
Zhang Yuting's career began in 2011 when she joined GSR Ventures, focusing on early-stage tech investments. With her unique insight, she invested in several classic projects and was promoted to Managing Partner in 2020. Although she left GSR Ventures in April 2024, the dispute with the company drew widespread attention. Now as the President of Moonshot, Zhang Yuting aims to drive continuous development of the company in the large model field.
At the event, Zhang Yuting shared the latest progress of the company's Kimi, including the recently released Kimi K2Thinking model, which surpassed other top models in multiple benchmark tests. Additionally, it has been reported that Moonshot is preparing for a new round of funding, with the valuation possibly reaching 4 billion US dollars, and plans to launch an IPO in the second half of next year.
