The funding values the startup at $250 million, reports Tencent QQ News. Other investors who participated include IDG Capital Partners, Morningside Ventures and financial data provider Wind Information.
The funds will be used by Beijing-based Haizhi to upgrade its data analytics technology, and expand its team. The company also wants to build a tech ecosystem around big data and cloud computing.

Haizhi had previously raised $6.5 million from Bertelsmann Asia Investments (BAI) and IDG in 2013, and a Series B round from Hillhouse Capital, IDG Ventures and Morningside in 2014.
Startups in this space have been raising late-stage venture funding of late.
