How Taiwan's AI startup Zeabur secured 64 million in funding, starting from the founder's graduation project.At 24 years old, entrepreneur Lin Yuanlin from Taoyuan, Taiwan, graduated from the Computer Science Department of Zhejiang University in 2023 and previously interned as a front-end engineer at Ant Group. During his university years, he took on numerous outsourced development projects but found that the real time-consuming aspect was not coding, but deployment and delivery. This led him to transform what was originally regarded as a graduation project that would be shelved after completion into an AI startup that spans across Taiwan and the United States, gaining favor with Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Recently, he shared his insights on his journey in the YouTube channel Kelly Tsai.
The cloud deployment platform Zeabur (formerly known as Zeebird), founded by him, has recently completed a $2 million seed round financing led by the well-known American venture capital firm 500 Global. Currently, the registered users have exceeded 100,000, with about 5,000 paying users. The product has been featured in the world's largest product.
