Huang Xiaohuang was deeply involved in NVIDIA's CUDA development, Zhu Hao excels in underlying graphics algorithms, and Chen Hang possesses full-stack development capabilities. Such a startup team, which even today looks like the most top-tier and lavishly equipped, should have chosen a direction like advanced graphics and imaging or high-performance computing. However, they initially chose the home renovation O2O field, which didn't seem to have high barriers to entry, and there are many stories behind that.This is a company that "looked for a nail with a hammer in hand." Huang Xiaohuang returned to China to start a business holding the most advanced cloud-based GPU physical rendering and simulation technology at the time, searching everywhere for application scenarios. Fifteen years ago, many investors might not have even heard of GPUs. Qunhe managed to raise funds by pitching an online virtual home community (similar to Houzz, which was valued at $4 billion at the time). After further exploration, they finally found clients in the extremely cash-rich real estate industry and launched the space design software Kujiale.From home renovation O2O to designer SaaS, these products not only allowed Qunhe to make money and survive but also enabled the company to accumulate a vast amount of high-quality 3D spatial data from real-world applications in scenarios like home, construction, and industry. Starting in 2018, Qunhe began returning to its original entrepreneurial vision.In 2018, Qunhe Technology, together with Imperial College London and the University of Southern California, jointly released the world's largest indoor scene cognitive deep learning dataset, containing 130 million spatial data points. In December 2015, Qunhe, in collaboration with Zhejiang University, open-sourced the SAGE-3D dataset. This is the industry's first embodied learning dataset based on 3D Gaussian VLE (Vision-Language Navigation).The power of high-quality data, algorithms, and self-built large-scale GPU clusters gradually became apparent.In 2025, Qunhe Technology released the industry's first spatial large model for 3D scene generation, comprising the Spatial Language Model (SpatialLM) and the Spatial Generation Model (SpatialGen). This is the world's first industry large model truly focused on "spatial intelligence," evolving AI from "text language" to "spatial language."Since then, it has begun to lead spatial intelligence.In 2023, Qunhe Technology shifted its entire strategic focus to spatial intelligence.Huang Xiaohuang said, "In the past, the company thought the core of growth was the product, but now we increasingly realize that what truly determines the ceiling is the layer of algorithm and model capabilities beneath the product."In the future, what Qunhe sells is not just a design software, but a spatial understanding and generation capability that can be repeatedly invoked. The billing model will also change from per-seat, subscription-based fees to per-token, per-invocation fees.Looking back now at Qunhe's entrepreneurial path:Most people first see market demand (the nail), then build the corresponding tool (the hammer).But Huang Xiaohuang did the opposite:He first spent 14 years sharpening a hammer of "GPU real-time rendering + 3D spatial data" to an incredibly sharp edge,Then, in different eras, used this same hammer to strike different nails.From home renovation O2O to designer SaaS,To AI research and spatial intelligence,Qunhe Technology has pivoted four times; the hammer has never been changed, but the nails have been swapped four times." datetime: "2026-04-20T08:34:20.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/40035652.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/40035652.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/40035652.md) author: "[Optimus](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/20639361.md)" --- # The three founders of Qunhe Technology all graduat… ### Related Stocks - [GOOGL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [MSFT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [00068.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00068.HK.md) - [GOOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) ## Comments (1) - **Magic_Wu · 2026-04-21T02:44:20.000Z**: Okay, the story is over.
