SHANGHAI -- Zong Wenhao, the chief executive of Shanghai DominantTech, an autonomous driving startup, recently breathed a sigh of relief as his company managed to raise additional capital after months of frustration.
The funding valued the company at 100 million yuan ($14.6 million), a 10th of what Zong had expected, but the fact that the Shanghai-based startup was able to attract fresh investment after having sought it out since the autumn of 2019 speaks to the recuperation of the market.
