Go beyond Funding

That’s a wrap folks, season 3 of XNode Pitching! is officially over.



Demo days are everywhere in the startup world these days, but what for? For us, there is only one purpose, to help our startups successfully raise funds!

So with that in mind let’s start with some good news from our previous XNode Pitching! Carelinker (蓝信康) from season 1 has successfully raised 25 million RMB A-series funding last month. The winning team of season 2, Seedlink Tech (人才学), has also received A-series funding recently, though the final amount is currently undisclosed.

We’re looking forward to seeing who will raise funds from this season, as there has already been some investor interest in startups from this batch. XNode, as a startup accelerator, supports our entrepreneurs in all aspects, but successfully raising funds is one of the top priorities for a startup. As such, it is one of our top priorities to create a platform XNode Pitching!

The following 6 pitch decks stood out from over 100 applicants:
