Manus融资5亿美元估值翻番，独立运营后谋求香港上市

中国AI初创公司Manus在与Meta的合并交易被中国政府阻止后，已恢复独立运营1。该公司正寻求新一轮融资5亿美元，目标估值达到40亿美元1。这一估值相比收购失败时的约20亿美元翻了一倍1。IDG资本、腾讯、博裕资本、宁德时代等机构为潜在投资者1。

Manus在收购失败前年度经常性收入已超1亿美元1。中国政府以违反出口管制和外资规则为由阻止了这笔交易1。公司于8月宣布删除Meta收购后生成的数据，本月正式宣布恢复独立运营1。此外，Manus正在考虑为香港IPO做重组准备1。

Chinese AI startup Manus has announced plans to raise $500 million at a $4 billion valuation following the collapse of its acquisition by Meta 1. The deal, which valued the company at approximately $2 billion, was blocked by the Chinese government on grounds of export control and foreign investment regulation violations 1. The company, which had generated over $100 million in annual recurring revenue prior to the failed acquisition attempt, is now pursuing independent operations after announcing in August that it would delete data generated as a result of the Meta acquisition 1.

The fundraising round has attracted interest from several prominent investors, including IDG Capital, Boyu Capital, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), Tencent, HSG, and Zhenfund 1. Beyond the immediate capital infusion, Manus is exploring strategic options including potential restructuring to prepare for a Hong Kong initial public offering 1. The company, which maintains employee operations in Singapore, is positioning itself to resume full independent development following the regulatory intervention that derailed its Meta integration 1.
