data verified 2026-09-17 · source list at bottom
Evidence level: DISPUTED
$9M → $10M ARR is backed by a press release and podcast (self-reported). Founder is Xiankun Wu (吴显昆) — coverage often misattributes to Ken Choi, who is head of marketing; the VentureBeat piece is a contributor piece with wrong identity info.
