Funding News: Accelerated Growth with Two Rounds in Eight Months

On August 28, 2025, the 3D large model sector announced another significant funding milestone - "IMMO Tech" successfully completed a new round of funding amounting to tens of millions of dollars.

This round was led by BlueRun Ventures, with existing investors ByteDance and Sequoia China Seed Fund continuing their support. Lightspeed Capital maintained its role as the exclusive financial advisor.

Earlier this year, in January, Meituan Longzhu and ByteDance had completed IMMO Tech's A round. Eight months later, IMMO Tech secured its second round of funding, marking another substantial increase in its valuation.

Company Strength: A Lab-Born "Tech Dream Team"

Founded in 2019 within the ShanghaiTech University laboratory, IMMO Tech boasts a strong scientific research background.

With offices in Shanghai, Singapore, and Los Angeles, the company employs 120 people, over 70% of whom are dedicated to R&D. The core team averages just 29 years old.

At the prestigious ACM SIGGRAPH 2025 conference, IMMO Tech and ShanghaiTech University jointly won the "Best Paper Award" and "TOP10 Technical Paper Quick View" for their 3D generation research.

IMMO Tech excels in 3D model generation, expression prediction and animation, and motion pose detection. Positioning itself as the "operating system for 3D generation," the company transforms top academic research into industrial-grade tools, bringing 3D technology out of the lab and into the mainstream.

Product Matrix: The Rodin Series Drives Full-Link Generation

IMMO Tech has established a robust product matrix, with its flagship Rodin series undergoing continuous iteration and enhancement.

Rodin Gen-1, launched on the 3D generation platform hyper3d.ai, achieved an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $1 million within 45 days, attracting customers from gaming, e-commerce, embodied intelligence, 3D printing, and film and television.

Next month, the team will introduce Rodin Gen-2, a new billion-parameter model, on the same platform.

According to official statements, this model supports text/image/video to 3D full-link conversion, offering a 4x speed increase and 60% reduction in computational power consumption. This is expected to significantly lower the technical barriers and costs associated with 3D content production.

Commercialization Progress: Expanding Across Industries

IMMO Tech has outlined a clear commercialization path, with its technology deeply integrated into various industry production processes.

Game developers utilize it to mass-produce NPC assets, shortening development cycles. E-commerce merchants generate 3D product images with a single click, enhancing customer experience. Embodied intelligence companies employ its technology to build robot training scenarios, accelerating AI application deployment.

Wu Di, IMMO Tech's founder and CEO, shared key metrics: a 93% customer renewal rate and a 2.7x increase in average customer order value. This indicates that 3D content is transitioning from a luxury to a fast-moving consumer good, with a robust commercialization loop now in place. This funding round will help solidify IMMO Tech's pioneering advantage during this critical window period.

Funding Utilization: Focused on Computing Power, Overseas Markets, and Talent

IMMO Tech has outlined three primary directions for this new funding round, all aimed at "consolidating advantages and accelerating expansion."

Expanding GPU Clusters: To support the large-scale inference and training of Gen-2, ensuring smooth operation post-launch.

Entering Overseas Markets: Plans to establish presences in North America, Japan, and South Korea, targeting 3A games and Hollywood to capture the global high-end 3D content production market.

Boosting Talent Acquisition: Increasing recruitment of core talent in algorithms, engineering, and product management, aiming to double the team size within the year.

Conclusion

While 3D content was once considered a costly and inaccessible "lab treasure," IMMO Tech's two consecutive funding rounds demonstrate that the inflection point for scale and democratization has arrived.

With the upcoming launch of Rodin Gen-2, 3D production is poised to shift from expensive, project-based work to standardized, on-demand services.

Capital has doubled down in just eight months, betting on the realization of this pivotal inflection point.
