Mockingbird has raised RMB 20 million (USD 2.78M) to accelerate its AIGC-agent UGC gaming platform and pursue its vision of becoming “the Sony of the Alpha generation.”
36Kr reports that Mockingbird (Hangzhou), a UGC gaming development and publishing platform driven by AIGC agents, has completed its Series A financing round, raising RMB 20 million (USD 2.78 million) at a valuation of RMB 200 million (USD 27.8 million).
The round was co-led by U.S.–listed smart community & advertising platform Lianzhangmen (LZMH) and A-share game developer Dianhun Network (603258), along with Hangzhou Yining Network, Hangzhou Qihan Guangqi Network, and several angel investors. The funds will accelerate Mockingbird’s AIGC toolchain iteration, UGC ecosystem expansion, global IP publishing, and M&A, strengthening its position in China’s UGC gaming track and advancing its ambition to become “the Sony of the Alpha generation.”
Mockingbird is a leading AIGC-agent–powered UGC gaming platform providing end-to-end digital interactive content solutions for next-gen global users. Its team combines expertise from gaming, AI, publishing, and innovation hardware—aiming to reshape the industry with a new production paradigm.
Capital Backing: Public Companies Lead Strategic Investment
The participation of Dianhun Network and Lianzhangmen highlights Mockingbird’s strategic value at the intersection of AIGC and UGC.
Dianhun, a major integrated game developer and operator, has been expanding along the “game industry chain + next-gen productivity.” Mockingbird’s AIGC agent system can reconstruct the full development pipeline, complementing Dianhun’s premium-content strategy and enabling cost-efficiency gains.
Lianzhangmen’s nationwide smart-terminal network provides offline traffic and hybrid marketing channels for Mockingbird’s UGC content. Local investors such as Yining Network and Qihan Guangqi Network will further strengthen operational and technical deployment.
Competitive Edge: AIGC End-to-End, Building a Closed-Loop Ecosystem
Technological Leadership With native AI foundations, Mockingbird has built proprietary AIGC agents and multimodal models for planning, 2D/3D art, and code generation—automating the entire game development workflow.
First-Mover UGC Ecosystem As a pioneer UGC gaming developer and the first metaverse-focused UGC publisher in China, Mockingbird has global partnerships and over 10 million accumulated users. As of May 2025:
- MAU: 85M+
- DAU: 5.5M+
- CCU: 55K+ Its users are primarily 9–24 years old from North America, SEA, Europe, and Brazil.
Closed-Loop Monetization Mockingbird integrates UGC games, original IPs, and next-gen hardware. Monetization includes IAP, IAA, IP licensing, hardware, and immersive brand metaverse solutions. 2025 sales exceeded RMB 100M (USD 13.9M). CEO He Shihao says the company aims to become the first publicly listed AIGC + UGC gaming company.
Market Trend: UGC + AIGC Unlocks the Next Trillion-Dollar Opportunity
Precedence Research estimates the global game market reached USD 372.4B in 2024 and will surpass USD 721.7B by 2034, with UGC and AIGC as core drivers. Players are shifting from passive experiences to co-creative participation. “Roblox proved UGC’s commercial value,” the founder noted. “Our AIGC-agent standardization of UGC creation is exactly what investors believe in.” The company’s valuation of RMB 500M (USD 69.4M) remains a significant discount relative to peers (typically RMB 1B+), and its IPO plan is targeted within two years.
Future Roadmap: Technology + Global Expansion
Post-financing, Mockingbird will focus on three strategic pillars:
- Upgrading its AI toolchain for deeper agent integration in game logic and operations.
- Launching multiple UGC titles globally this year.
- Developing next-gen entertainment hardware for niche markets and new-gen users. Analysts believe Mockingbird is on track to become China’s first UGC gaming unicorn.
