Comprehensive inventory: An article to understand which companies the funds established by Dreame have invested in
Sky Factory Venture Capital is an institution established by Dreame Technology in 2023. Originally named Dream Creation Venture Capital, after its brand upgrade at the end of 2025, it now emphasizes its independence, including independent fundraising and decision - making mechanisms.
IT Juzi shows that as of April 2026, this institution associated with Dreame's CVC has invested in 57 enterprises.
A notable signal is that in 2025, its investment pace remained at 0 - 2 enterprises per month. However, after entering 2026, it suddenly accelerated - 10 investments in February, 15 in March, and 14 in April. In just three months, it completed over 60% of the total investment volume of last year.
Sky Factory has become one of the top 5 most active investors in China.
From high - speed motors to intelligent algorithms, from hardware engineering to ecological synergy, nearly 60 enterprises outline a clear industrial extension map: it is not a wide - spread financial investment but a systematic layout around Dreame's core capabilities.

VI. Other Independent Investments: Scattered but Interesting Explorations
In addition to the five main lines, Sky Factory also has some scattered independent investments covering cross - border directions such as disinfection, tea drinks, agriculture, and mining. A total of 14 enterprises are involved.
VII. Internal Incubation and Spin - off: Dreame's Ecological Chain Investment Experiment
The uniqueness of Sky Factory lies in that it previously also carried out the function of independent financing for Dreame's internal business spin - off. This is similar to Xiaomi's investment model in ecological chain enterprises and is also a special channel to help Dreame push its internally incubated projects to the external capital market.
Currently, 5 enterprises have successfully followed this path. Some of them are teams and products developed by Dreame itself, and some are incubated by Dreame - affiliated enterprises.
For example, Surge Future, spun off from Dreame's internal ODM team, develops pool - cleaning robots, and its products are developed by Dreame on an OEM basis. There is also Shiree Smart Bed, a high - end intelligent sleep brand in the Dreame ecosystem, which re - uses Dreame's motor and algorithm capabilities in its core technology. The company's valuation in Series A is 1 billion yuan. And Dreame Leading Fresh, which uses Dreame's motor/algorithm technology to develop whole - house smart home appliances. Sky Factory participated in the early - stage investment of these three companies, either in the angel round or the pre - A round.
In addition, there are two MOVA ecological chain enterprises. MOVA was incubated by Dreame Technology, focusing on the cleaning appliance field. It was originally a sub - brand of Dreame and was spun off independently after 2024.
Both Huaxing Home/NEXTROOM and Zero Boundary Singularity MOVA TPEAK are MOVA ecological chain enterprises. The former focuses on smart home, and the latter is an intelligent audio enterprise. Sky Factory participated in their angel rounds.
Hidden Concerns Behind the Rapid Expansion?
Overall, the 57 enterprises invested by Sky Factory cover five main lines and scattered investments, showing a layout characteristic of systematic extension around Dreame's core capabilities. Its investment layout is expected to form a collaborative network, but the realization of the collaborative effect still needs time to be verified.
While Sky Factory's rapid expansion shows its strategic ambition, it also raises several hidden concerns that need attention.
Firstly, there is the issue of matching the investment pace with post - investment management. In the first three months of 2026, nearly 40 enterprises were invested in. Whether the depth of due diligence and the ability of post - investment follow - up can keep up with this pace is a significant test for the team.
Secondly, there is the portfolio risk caused by the over - concentration of project stages. More than 60% of the 57 enterprises are in the angel round, and many of them have been established for less than a year, with a naturally high failure rate. The performance of the overall portfolio needs a reasonable expectation of the high failure rate.
A deeper - level problem lies in whether industrial synergy can be truly realized.
Dreame's technology spill - over currently still mostly stays at the theoretical deduction level. Technology migration requires time, running - in, and adaptation. Whether it can truly empower the invested enterprises depends on the depth of subsequent docking.
Meanwhile, the continuous capital injection requirements of the 57 enterprises and the pressure of follow - up investment rounds. If the financing or exit channels are not smooth, the cash - flow pressure will gradually emerge.
Finally, although Sky Factory emphasizes independent fundraising and decision - making mechanisms, its deep association with Dreame may inevitably face conflicts of interest in actual operations. How to strike a balance between industrial synergy and independent judgment is a core challenge at the long - term governance level.
