How did Bai Rui data achieve the completion of 100 million yuan financing in three years?

2017 was a lucky year for Bairui Data. In early May, the good news came that Bairui Data Co., Ltd. completed the B round of financing. The financing amount was as high as tens of millions of dollars. The investor was Beijing Economic and Information Commission as an LP in China. Guoke Jiahe, an investment fund directly under the Academy of Sciences, led the investment. Since the establishment of the company in 2014, Bairui Data has maintained a rapid development trend at the speed of completing a round of financing every year, and has been highly recognized in the international database field and popular in the investment community! As early as 2014, Bairui Data has completed the Pre-A financing of tens of millions of RMB, and the leading investment institution is Lanchi Venture Capital, which is also the top domestic fund Lanchi Venture Capital inserted in the direction of the core technology of big data . An important banner, and the subsequent joining of Xinzhongli and SPD Silicon Valley Bank demonstrated the good expectations of these highly professional and well-known investment institutions for this big data company with core technology.

 

Liu Ruimin, Chairman of Bairui Data and Director of the Big Data Statistics Laboratory of Renmin University of China

 

Liu Ruimin, chairman of Bairui Data and director of the Big Data Statistics Laboratory of Renmin University of China, said that the investment of Guoke this time is not only a high recognition of high-tech enterprises leading the international discourse power, but also a recognition of this kind of international standard. A kind of guidance for the future market development of enterprises. In the future market development, Bairui Data must not only maintain the status of this international leading technology in technology, but also take the international competitive companies Oracle and SAP as the coordinates, and make good use of Guoke plug-in. Bai Rui's two wings of capital, to build China's own database aircraft carrier!

 

In recent years, although Bairui Data has won some awards in the industry such as China's Best Big Data Product Award with its own technical strength, this is not the pursuit of international patent companies for core products. Liu Ruimin repeatedly emphasized that the company's core team is the most valuable asset, because several core team members of the company, plus Liu Ruimin himself, are the top database experts in the industry who have studied under Jim Gray, the originator of the Turing Award winner database. The Spirit Award is like the Nobel in the computer industry, which is almost unique in the database industry, at least we haven't seen it in other database companies so far. So every time Liu Ruimin introduces investors, he proudly introduces his magic weapon - his core technical team.

 

Therefore, in the past three years, people are often curious, what exactly did Bairui data do right, so that this Chinese enterprise-level basic software startup company has received hundreds of millions of financing in just three years; it has become the only domestic company with independent The controllable core technology flow database company is also the first representative of China in 29 years to subvert the international discourse power that Oracle and SAP have always monopolized in the international big data field, and independently formulate the big data core technology of international standards for big data. Enterprise; it has become a technical benchmark in the field of database in China.

 

The disruption of the big data revolution creates new opportunities

 

Having worked hard in the database field for 20 years, Liu Ruimin is well aware of the subversiveness of this wave of big data revolution. Bits of information are being integrated into a new system of wealth creation. The power structure of the big chimney society will further transform into a society composed of super information symbols. transfer. Traditional relational databases are unable to handle the processing and analysis of massive data, just as SMS was eventually overtaken by WeChat . With the opening of a new window period, the database field has entered the Warring States Period. Various new databases such as columnar architecture , memory architecture, NoSQL, and NewSQL emerge in an endless stream, each leading the way, shaking the pillars of the old system.

 

Liu Ruimin said that with the changes of the times, the advancement of science and technology has changed our way of life and thinking mode, and it has also changed an industry. The database industry is a basic industry with a high threshold. Before Bairui Data was founded, he spent three years preparing, including finding technical talents to form a team. It can be said that the basic talents are the hardest to find. Now the company's team includes Liu Ruimin's mentor and former colleagues, some of whom are from the United States, Australia, India, and high-end domestic talents. For Bai Rui and Liu Ruimin, it is the most important value of Bai Rui to find valuable talents around the world, bring them together, do more solid work on the basics, and create more advanced databases. Bai Rui can overtake a sharp weapon in a corner.

 

Liu Ruimin summed up his 20 years of experience and concluded that the great historical opportunities represented by big data are reflected in three aspects:

  • First, the surge in data volume promotes the development of the industry. With the rise and influence of "Internet +", for the database industry, the increment of data is much larger than before, and the amount of data will increase by thousands of times in the future. Then the way data is processed will also change.

  • Second, database vendors are reshuffling, especially in the era of open source, China has the opportunity to master world-class information technology.

  • 第三,随着中国越来越走向国际市场化,创业公司有机会凭借即技术实力在竞争中脱颖而出。

 

当然,更大的历史机遇则来自中国政府对数据库和创新的肯定,这奠定了柏睿数据弯道超车的基础!

 

“中共中央在第三十六次集体学习时强调,我国需要加快推进网络信息技术自主创新,加快数字经济对经济发展的推动,加快提高网络管理水平,加快增强网络空间安全防御能力,加快用网络信息技术推进社会治理,加快提升我国对网络空间的国际话语权和规则制定权,朝着建设网络强国目标不懈努力。具体举措方面,要加快推进国产自主可控替代计划,构建安全可控的信息技术体系,推动高性能计算、移动通信、量子通信、核心芯片、操作系统等研发和应用取得重大突破。”

 

正是由于多种历史性机遇交汇,才造就了柏睿数据三年里获得多次融资的宏观环境。

 

公司的发展离不开团队 ,而团队拼的是技术,技术离不开实战演练!

 

顺应了历史大趋势大机遇,创业就能成功吗?当然也不尽然,刘睿民认为,凭个人能力可以做出优质产品,但却难以带动产业上下游的配合与发展,任何产业级的影响力都离不开长期的深厚积累。凭借过往的人脉让他得以组建阵容豪华、实力强大的海外团队,并在过去3年里进展神速。他的目标是取代Oracle,做企业级市场数据处理的颠覆者和新规则的引领者。

 

在成立公司前,刘睿民就明白柏睿的产品不仅能处理非结构化和半结构化的数据,而且在结构化数据这块,还要覆盖世界巨头甲骨文。

 

谈及他创业的心路历程,他说他曾任多家世界级跨国IT公司大中国区及亚太区高管,曾在国内上市公司华胜天成担任CTO,归国前在硅谷Tandem公司师从计算机行业诺贝尔级别奖———图灵奖大神级得主Jim Gray,共同参与过数据库Tandem NonStop SQL/MP的内核编写。也正是得益于这么多的职场经历,让他收获了更多人脉。组建了以拥有师承图灵奖获得者Jim Gray的队伍为核心,拥有众多30年以上数据库领域资深研发工程师组成的世界级水平技术研发团队,这恰恰是历史给他最宝贵的财富。

 

产品的定位很重要

 

对于创业公司来说,如何选择和研发核心数据库技术,是最终能否走向成功的关键因素。

 

刘睿民认为,大数据正在改变各国综合国力,重塑未来国际战略格局,大数据关乎国家战略安全。那么,在大数据行业里,什么是关键基础?毋庸置疑,一定是核心技术。

 

历史以来,甲骨文一直被国际社会公认为是计算机单机共享内存时代的“皇冠上的明珠”,是核心基础软件中唯一横跨CPU、操作系统的关键性技术。甲骨文的成就,在国际上一直被追随但从未被超越,所以,甲骨文在国际标准化组织主导数据库标准的制定者的地位从未被动摇过。而现如今,由刘睿民带领的研发团队所创造的分布式流数据库技术解决了之前因为数据流多并发导致的系统瘫痪问题,切实解决了海量数据来临时数据处理能力问题;也因此在国际标准化委员会颠覆了甲骨文的标准提案,代表中国成为2018数据库标准的制定者。这就是弯道超车最完美的实践,从根本上彻底颠覆了甲骨文在国际社会技术引领位置!

 

早前,刘睿民就研究过国内数据库的需求,在他的带领下公司专注于大数据实时处理的研发,以“基于内存计算机的海量数据的实时分析处理”为核心产品,推出了面向实时大数据分析领域的高性能分析应用平台Rapids Data Platform(简称RDP)。RDP采用了“内存计算(In-Memory Computing)”技术,从功能上可以划分为:Rapids Hadoop(企业版大数据存储管理引擎)、Rapids DB(分布式实时在线处理引擎)、RapidsStream(国内首创流数据库)、Rapids Manager(统一的管理控制台)等4个模块。

 

目前柏睿数据提供的技术专门形成了针对政府数据安全、移动通信海量快速、金融实时精准等不同行业特点、不同规模、不同应用的大数据解决方案。以其卓越的技术实力,被评为2015年中国大数据最佳产品奖的殊荣 。

 

正是在这样的契机下,柏睿数据和国科嘉和一拍即合。而此轮领投的国科嘉和基金是中国科学院控股有限公司(简称国科控股)直接管理的一级股权投资平台,是最具高科技含金量的投资平台,是由国科控股发起并联合国内多家大型企业集团共同设立了多期VC股权投资基金、并购基金以及政府专项基金,管理基金总金额达到数百亿人民币。而国科嘉和基金主要发起人国科控股则是经国务院批准设立的首家中央级事业单位, 发展目标为,依托中国科学院的研究力量,加速加强科技与经济的深度融合,实现战略型新兴产业的跨越式发展,促进我国经济转型和产业结构升级,促进我国经济质量和综合国力提升的一个专业机构。所以,国科嘉和基金专注于信息技术(TMT)和生命科学等新兴行业,依托中科院体系的一流技术能力,偏好投资拥有技术壁垒的高科技企业,主要投资对象为像柏睿这样有高门槛核心技术 的初创期和成长期的高科技企业。

 

Liu Ruimin finally said that the cooperation between Guoke Jiahe and Bai Rui this time is an international standard owner holding the capital of the Academy of Sciences, so that in the future, the core basic technologies of China's data industry can follow the guidance of international standards and enter the fast lane of rapid development, providing national data security. The most powerful guarantee and support perfectly interprets the country's strategic deployment of leading the international voice in the field of international core technologies.
