On Dec 15, 2022, AI+data video-production SaaS Tekan Tech (特看科技) closed a multi-million RMB angel round led by FreeS Funds (峰瑞资本) with Jiacheng Capital (嘉程资本) participating. Proceeds: product/tech platform build-out and global expansion.
Founded Jun 2022, Tekan serves TikTok cross-border merchants with three patented products: hyper-realistic AI virtual-host tools, short-video analytics & ops strategy, and intelligent video creation — script (brain) + digital human (body) + assets (SKU) assembled into live/video tools for mid-tier ecom merchants. Live products: overseas ecom analytics & AI video gen at Tabcut.com, and digital-human live tool “Zhubo Bao (主播宝)”.
CEO Wu Chunsong (乐乘): ex-Alibaba senior PM, led Intelligent Design Lab / Luban AI design, then Taobao content tools (Qinpai App). CTO Chen Binghui: ex-Alibaba, UC browser kernel lead, Taobao content mid-platform video tech. Wu on AIGC: two breakthroughs — semantic analysis/summarization (ChatGPT-style) and pixel-level generation that collapses production cost; future closed-loop of production↔distribution data will reverse-guide AIGC. Near-term focus: (1) go-global video/live tools; (2) closed-loop content production→spend data — first via standalone TikTok ecom data tool. TikTok Shop scaled in SEA and opened US closed-loop shop Nov 2022; TikTok hit ~1B DAU. FreeS’s Chen Shi and Jiacheng’s Chen Yingyu both cite China’s Video-First lead and Tekan’s decade of Double-11 AIGC experience as scarce globally.
