Yao Song: Deephi, Oriental Space & a Decade of Hard Tech

People:姚颂

Audio version · podcast source

Why it matters

Yao Song sold Deephi for $300M at 26, founded commercial space company Oriental Space, and is now on his third startup in physical AI. Nearly 3 hours: from Tsinghua to the youthful days of Yang Zhilin and peers, to the decade hard tech went from niche to mainstream in China.

Key takeaways

  • Three startups: Deephi, Oriental Space, and Striding AI in physical AI.
  • After selling at 26: 'life went dark' and reinvention.
  • A Tsinghua decade: the youthful days of Yang Zhilin, Wang He, Xu Huazhe.
  • Hard tech in China: from niche to mainstream in ten years.
  • 'If you don't want boring, suffer happily.'
