Most of these users are males in first and second-rate cities, highly paid and highly educated, and mostly fall into the age group of 31-36.
In July 2018, Suning Sports announced their Series A funding that was lead-invested by Alibaba Group and Goldman Sachs and co-invested by Evergrande Group, Yunfeng Capital, SenseTime, Zhejiang Sports Foundation, Jiangsu Sports Foundation, CCB International, Minsheng Bank International, and ABC International.
