Newslink: $820 million for maker of a Stormtrooper robot? Here's why it was a smart move.

in #newslink6 years ago

Chinese robotics company UBTech just landed $820 million in a Series C round led by Tencent.

Founded just five years ago, the company now has an eye-popping valuation of $5 billion.

That's a lofty assessment for what currently amounts to an unsuccessful toy company. But I have a hunch Tencent and other investors are on the ball as they look ahead to the next decade.
