Meitu Funding Rounds

DateStageRaised FromRaisedValuationRev. MultipleDeal Summary
May-16Series DKeywise Capital$136M$4BMeitu is a China-based photo retouching and modification app developer founded in 2008 that allows users to edit photos and share them online. By mid-2016, the platform had grown to 446 million users. The company expanded beyond its core app by launching Meitu smartphones in 2013 specifically designed for selfie-taking, which became its primary monetization driver, representing 89.9% of revenue by 2016. In the first half of 2016, the company posted a RMB 280 million ($40.5 million) loss. In August 2016, Meitu received a private fundraising round led by Hong Kong asset management firm Keywise Capital that valued the company at approximately $3.8 billion. The company was backed by prominent investors including Sina Weibo, IDG Capital Partners, Innovation Works, Qiming Venture Partners, Tiger Global Management, and Foxconn, with whom it formed a strategic partnership in May 2015. Following this funding, Meitu filed for a Hong Kong IPO targeting a $5 billion valuation with plans to raise between $500 million and $1 billion, though the actual IPO proceeded at a lower valuation and raised approximately $800 million.
Dec-14Series CCeyuan Ventures; China Asset Management; Foxconn; H Capital Advance; IDG Capital; Qiming Venture Partners; Sinovation Ventures; Tiger Global$190M$2BMeitu is a Chinese image-editing app developer best known for its selfie-editing app Meitu (美圖秀秀), which allows users to enhance photos by removing dark circles, lightening and smoothing skin, narrowing the face, and elongating body shapes, with features like one-click beautifying and instant sharing to Weibo and WeChat. Founded in 2008 and based in Xiamen, the company also manufactures mobile phones and cameras designed for selfies, launched in 2013 as its first major monetization initiative. The app is free on Android and iOS, boasting over 270 million monthly active users and 52 million daily active users by the time of its reported IPO plans, with 900 million global users having tried photo-editing apps. In 2014, Meitu generated revenues of US$100 million, primarily from in-app advertising and hardware sales, with the majority from the latter. Smart hardware, primarily Meitu smartphones, drove significant revenue portions: 87.8% in 2014 per IPO documents. The company reported adjusted net losses, including RMB112.3 million in 2014 excluding fair value losses and share-based payments. Later developments include Meitu pursuing a Hong Kong IPO in 2016, targeting up to $700 million raise at a valuation of up to US$3 billion, and successfully listing with an estimated USD 5 billion valuation. Subsequent years saw revenue growth to CNY4.5 billion by a later period amid online advertising expansion, but profitability challenges persisted post-IPO.

The apps have achieved massive adoption, with 270 million monthly active users, over 900 million mobile installations, and topping photo/video rankings on Apple's App Store in China. Backers include IDG Capital Partners, Qiming Venture Partners, Innovation Works (founded by Kai-Fu Lee), Sina Weibo, Tiger Global Management, and later Foxconn. Meitu's Series C funding round, its third round, closed in 2014 at a post-money valuation of $2 billion, with cumulative funding across Series A to C reaching $360 million. Investors in prior rounds included Innovation Works, Qiming, and others, setting the stage for strategic expansions. Post-2014, Meitu pursued aggressive growth, partnering with Foxconn in 2015 for facial recognition, smartphones, and expansion into Southeast Asia and India, targeting 5 million smartphone shipments in 2016. The company scheduled a Hong Kong IPO roadshow in 2016 aiming to raise up to $800 million, down from an initial $500 million to $1 billion target at a $5 billion valuation, though valued at $3.7 billion in April 2016. It reported 446 million users by mid-2016 but struggled with monetization, posting a RMB 280 million loss in H1 2016.
