The debut of Kingsoft Cloud on the Nasdaq stock exchange marks the first Chinese listing going public in New York after a fraud scandal at Chinese coffee chain Luckin Coffee.
Kingsoft Cloud is a subsidiary of Kingsoft Corporation. The Beijing-based software company was founded in 1988 by Bojun Qiu and is backed up by Xiaomi. It offers cloud infrastructure, enterprise cloud and artificial intelligence services.
The Fangda team was led by partner Jeffery Ding.
