Amid macroeconomic headwinds, the pet industry has bucked the trend to emerge as a new growth frontier at the intersection of consumption upgrading and life sciences. This phenomenon not only reflects the growing need for emotional companionship among contemporary consumers but also signals that the pet sector will continue to unlock its market potential through technological empowerment, injecting differentiated innovative vitality into economic growth.
VCBeat has learned at the earliest opportunity that,Guochong | Advanced Science Announces Its SubsidiaryGuochong Blood Technology (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Guochong | Blood Technology” or the “Company”)Completed a tens-of-millions-yuan angel round of financing, led by Shanghai Hanwei Biopharmaceuticals and followed by Tuneng Group.Riemann-Hypothesis served as the exclusive financial advisor for this round and provided comprehensive financing strategy support throughout the process.
Public information from the Market Supervision Administration shows that Guochong | Blood Technology was registered in February 2025 and completed its angel financing round just three months later, demonstrating strong market recognition of its technological innovation and commercial potential.

It is reported that this round of financing will be primarily used for the research and development of high-quality pet blood products, the establishment of a standardized blood bank system, and market expansion, further solidifying its leading position in this vertical niche sector.
As a critical component of the “last mile” in veterinary care, pet blood transfusion, despite being a high-frequency life-saving intervention, has long remained in a gap characterized by “demand without standardized products.” In the face of growing needs for managing chronic diseases, performing surgical procedures, and providing emergency care in pets, the establishment of a stable, safe, and regulated blood supply system is increasingly urgent.
According to GMI Insights, the global market size for animal blood and its components reached $622.4 million in 2022 and is projected to grow to $1.5928 billion by 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.84%. In China, the pet healthcare market size reached RMB 73.5 billion in 2023; however, pet transfusion medicine remains in its infancy, with no established blood bank system and immature regulatory mechanisms.
AsChina’s First Standardized Integrated Solution for Pet Blood Supply and Transfusion Medicine, Guochong | Blood Technology has been committed to filling industry gaps and setting industry standards since its inception, comprehensively tackling the “uncharted territory” of building a pet blood transfusion system. Under the coordinated allocation of advanced scientific resources by Guochong, the project has already achieved a high-starting-point layout:
Research Collaboration:
Jointly developed whole blood and component blood products for pets with the Institute of Blood Transfusion, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and derived patented devices such as quadruple blood collection bags, anticoagulants, blood typing cards, and restraint devices.
Experimental Platform:
Leveraging the Model Animal Engineering Research Center of the Gannan Institute for Innovation and Translational Medicine (equipped with SPF/A2-level animal facilities and AAALAC international accreditation, among others), we are establishing an animal blood transfusion system in accordance with human blood supply management standards.
Clinical Applications:
Co-establish a clinical platform with teaching animal hospitals affiliated with leading veterinary colleges in China and abroad, conduct in-depth research on species differences and disease models in dogs and cats, and establish standardized blood transfusion protocols.
Through the deep integration of upstream technological R&D and downstream clinical implementation, Guochong | Blood Technology has systematically addressed the industry’s two core challenges—“blood supply shortages” and “insufficient standards”—establishing a replicable paradigm for pet blood platforms.
While accelerating its domestic layout, Guochong | Blood Technology is actively expanding its international cooperation network. It is reported that the company’s CEO, Kevin Yu, conducted an international technical inspection tour this May, engaging in strategic dialogues with top-tier global institutions and taking a key step toward internationalization.

During the visit, Kevin Yu held in-depth discussions with Dr. Boaz Arzi, Director of the Veterinary Institute for Regenerative Cures (VIRC), on technological R&D and clinical applications in the field of pet cell and gene therapy (CGT). During these exchanges, Guochong | Blood Technology also shared the foundational technical reserves in cell therapy developed by its parent company, Guochong | Advanced Science, thereby laying a technological foundation for future collaboration.

Furthermore, Kevin Yu conducted a special visit to the Blood Bank system founded by FDA advisory expert Dr. Julie Burges, systematically studying its transfusion medicine management system and blood bank operational paradigms that comply with international regulatory standards. This visit will help Guochong | Blood Technology refine its own management system and enhance its competitiveness in the international market.

This cross-border technological collaboration has provided forward-looking solutions for Guochong | Blood Technology to build intelligent blood centers in China, particularly by offering a localized adaptation pathway for the FDA’s mature regulatory framework, thereby injecting critical expertise into the establishment of a transfusion system that meets international certification standards.
In the future, the company will accelerate the construction of regional pet blood bank platforms, develop customized treatment protocols, and explore pathways for international expansion, thereby creating a globally competitive “Chinese Solution.”
