Recently, Health界 Media completed a Series B financing round amounting to tens of millions of yuan. The round was led by Tianyi Investment Group, with Yueyin Medical Venture Capital participating as a co-investor.
Yu Rong, Chairman of Tianyi Investment Group, stated, “Within the medical and health industry, Health界 (Jiankangjie) has provided a rich and innovative platform for entrepreneurs, business leaders, hospital directors, and healthcare professionals. Through years of dedication, Health界 has cultivated a core community of loyal followers. I have long aspired to support Mr. Zhao in building a more innovative service ecosystem on this existing platform, working together to drive entrepreneurship and innovation in the healthcare sector.”
Zheng Yufen, CEO and Managing Partner of Yueyin Medical Venture Capital, stated that it is admirable for Health界 (HealthJie) to have achieved its current influence and scale in just a few short years. “Entrepreneurship is difficult, and female entrepreneurship is even more challenging. HealthJie has significant room for future growth, and I hope we can work together to further enhance this platform, aiming to establish China’s own J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in the near future.”
Ms. Zhao Hong, founder of HealthCare Media, stated that in addition to building a platform for exchange and learning among medical elites, the company plans to establish three platforms focused on healthcare investment in the future. The first platform will connect entrepreneurs with investors. The second will serve as a financing and investment platform for medical services, not only linking investors with healthcare institutions but, more importantly, enabling both parties to view healthcare from each other’s perspectives. The third platform will provide ongoing support for CEOs in the healthcare industry and medical services sector, helping founders address challenges and alleviate burdens.
Founded in 2012, Health界 Media has consistently served as a pioneer in media transformation and business model innovation within China’s healthcare sector, against the backdrop of the industry’s ongoing exploration and reform.
Prior to this round of financing, VCBeat had just rolled out the iterative update to its Version 3.0 platform. Launched in December 2015, VCBeat 3.0 adheres to the philosophy of “integrating knowledge, intelligence, and commerce.” While maintaining its positioning as a new media outlet and think tank for the healthcare industry, it introduced two new products: “Zhongshuo,” an open-content platform, and “Faxian,” an industry information release platform. These additions establish capabilities for online communication and transactions, facilitating VCBeat’s transformation from an industry-focused new media entity into a comprehensive platform for resource interaction and integration within the healthcare sector.
The new version of the website and the mobile app currently average 368,000 page views (PV) per day, with over 940,000 app installations. Meanwhile, as an integral component of the VCBeat platform, the VCBeat WeChat official account has amassed 210,000 subscribers.
