不用从零开始。团队和想法你来,资源、资金、支持体系,我们已经打点好——你只管把事情做成。

01

01

Stuck at a big company, itching to finally build something that's actually yours.

02

02

Grinding it out solo on your own venture, missing the systems and resources to go the distance.

03

03

Experienced, well-resourced, and seriously betting your next chapter on AI.

04

04

Already on VCs' radar, still waiting for the right platform.

Your first company?
You're not fighting this one alone.

Money and resources are just the starting line. What actually gives you confidence is a room full of people who know what they're doing.

After You Deliver

Teams that come out of incubation go different ways. Some end up working directly with Shanda's business unit heads, even the group's core leadership. Others raise outside funding and build something great entirely on their own. We're happy either way — neither is written into a contract. Both are proven paths.

Creature Comforts

Office space in Shanghai and Beijing is ready today. Housing support for incubated teams is still being worked out — updates as soon as we have them.

WHO IT'S FOR

Capital, space, compute all in place.

FUNDING

Capital, wired directly

RMB 1,000,000

(~USD 150,000) in incubation funding, covering salaries, compute, and basic operating costs.

SPACE

Shanghai and Beijing, ready now — Silicon Valley, Japan, Singapore next

Office space and back-office support, already built. Nothing for you to set up.

COMPUTE

The best models and compute in the world — just use them

OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek — the leading frontier models from both the US and China, ready to call.

Beyond the money, here's what else you get

SPACE

01 · Real products in production, not concept decks

Tanka (team collaboration), Evermind (long-term memory), Makeplay (game production), Mirasim (model orchestration), Alayalab — real products born out of the Shanda ecosystem, running in production every day. You get direct access to the teams behind them, and skip the mistakes they already made.

COMPUTE

02 · Smart people on call, without hiring a big team

In-house engineers and product experts, scientists in our orbit, founders from our portfolio — a ready-made advisory network. For a lean team, this isn't a nice-to-have. It's table stakes.

SPACE

03 · Your first users, without a cold start

Hundreds of thousands of active founders, the user base of several live products — find your first testers and honest feedback right here.

COMPUTE

04 · A US-China capital network, for when you're ready to scale

We keep close relationships with top-tier Silicon Valley funds. Early on, building out of China, you probably won't need this network — but when it's time to go global or raise your next round, the door's already open.

THE TERMS

The terms, laid out plainly

≤ 6

people in principle, with 1–2 core founders full-time

3 mo

reviewed monthly, extendable by one more term

RMB 1M

~USD 150K, covering salaries, compute, admin

Equal footing

treated the same as Shanda's own internal teams

This funding comes in as a SAFE. Unlike a typical dollar-fund incubator, we don't take a fixed equity stake from day one that headroom shows up in the conversion multiple later, negotiated based on how the project performs.

WHAT WE WEIGH

60% team, 40% business

You don't need a polished business plan.

TEAM 60%

DIRECTION 40%

The era of the super individual is here

We want to run this with you.
