Ex-DeepRoute Co-founder Liu Nianqiu Launches Feimoyi Tech with Near $100M Seed
KEY FACTS
- Liu Nianqiu founded Feimoyi Technology in 2026 and serves as founder.
- Feimoyi raised a seed round of nearly $100 million led by IDG Capital.
- Liu Nianqiu joined DeepRoute in 2018, overseeing hardware and Robotaxi operations.
- DeepRoute once halted its Shenzhen Robotaxi service and pivoted to a mapless autonomous driving solution.
- Feimoyi plans multi-point deployment next year to form a data training loop.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
The data loop and mass-production experience accumulated in mapless autonomous driving are being transferred to robots in open scenarios. Feimoyi avoids fixed scenarios and bets on cross-scenario generalization, but the open world is extremely complex, and the gap from demo to usable is large. Capital is betting on Liu Nianqiu's engineering deployment experience, not merely a technology story.
