|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 2020 | Series C | China Renaissance (lead); Baillie Gifford; Loyal Valley Capital; Wen's Investment; Kunyan Capital; China Merchants Bank | $300M | $1.9B | Chongqing Jiangxiaobai Liquor Co., founded in 2012 (or 2016 per some reports), produces baijiu, a sorghum-based Chinese spirit, targeting younger consumers with innovative marketing on platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu, including fruit-flavored and sparkling variants and cocktail promotions. The company positions itself as an upstart challenger to giants like Kweichow Moutai and Wuliangye in China's massive baijiu market, which reached RMB 542.7 billion (USD 79.11 billion) in the prior year, with products available in over 20 countries. The post-money valuation reached RMB 13 billion (USD 1.9 billion), following a pre-funding valuation of roughly $1.6 billion. Previous investors include Hillhouse Capital, IDG Capital, BlackAnt Capital, and Sequoia Capital. The funding supports R&D, old liquor reserves, and new product development, as the company declined detailed comment but confirmed preparations for launches. No specific revenue, ARR, or EBITDA figures for Jiangxiaobai near the round date were disclosed in sources; China Renaissance's own 2020 financials highlighted strong investment performance but no Jiangxiaobai metrics. The baijiu sector remains dominated by incumbents, with Moutai valued at $325 billion and holding premium pricing. |

It followed the first institutional investment from IDG Capital, Tiantu Capital and Hillhouse Capital and preceded a 2019 round with Sequoia China and Yisan Capital and the September 2020 C round led by China Renaissance.

Latest Acquisitions by JIANGXIAOBAI
| Description | Chongliang Liquor Industry is a Chinese grain supplier to the baijiu industry, linked to the Chongliang Group and its Chongliang trademark. It provided red sorghum on direct, fixed-location supply arrangements to distillers including Jiangxiaobai before the 2018 acquisition. The business operates a grain-supply base used to source sorghum for liquor production. In May 2018 Jiangxiaobai bought all of its equity for 78.13 million yuan and took over the registered Chongliang trademark rights in related categories. After the purchase Jiangxiaobai planned to integrate the supply base and keep a strategic cooperation with the Chongliang Group on direct grain supply, planting red sorghum by more scientific methods and on a larger scale. The acquisition was part of a push to secure upstream raw materials for its liquor business. |
