Recently, the Summit Forum on the Development of Unicorn Companies and "2021 Top-100 High-Growth Companies" Award Ceremony was held at the Kandan Unicorn Innovation Base in Beijing. The event officially released the list of "2021 Top-100 High-Growth Companies", which includes Showself and Haixiu, both livestreaming platforms under Scienjoy. The forum and award ceremony was organized by Zhicheng Enterprise Research Institute under the guidance of the Fengtai Campus Administrative Committee of the Zhongguancun Science Park, the Zhongguancun High-Tech Enterprises Association and the Zhongguancun Venture Capital and Private Equity Association.
First launched in 2009, the "Top-100 High-Growth Companies" list has become one of the most iconic brand activities in the Zhongguancun area after more than ten years of celebration and development. Selection of the 2021 list kicked off in September and lasted for six months – after four rounds of project solicitation, candidate screening, preliminary review, and final roadshow, 100 high-growth companies with the highest development potential and industry representativeness were finally selected by an expert review committee composed of industry experts, investment institutions and high-tech service organizations, who reviewed and evaluated 2,269 non-listed companies that qualify for Beijing's policy support in terms of revenue growth, innovation growth, employee growth, and per capita revenue growth.
Being a representative company that’s technology- and innovation-driven in the Zhongguancun area, Scienjoy’s livestreaming platforms such as Showself, Lehai and Haixiu have been included in the "Zhongguancun Top-100 High-Growth Companies" list for many times thanks to continuous exploration and innovation in the field of science and technology.
