作为早期投资方，启明创投在B、C、D轮融资中连续投资七牛云，IPO前启明创投持股比例为6.83%。
七牛云创立于2011年，公司旗下产品及服务主要分为MPaaS产品和APaaS解决方案——前者即一系列音视频解决方案，包括加速内容分发的专有内容分发网络、存储内容的对象存储平台、可实时串流音视频内容的互动直播产品及提供广泛的资料处理与分析功能的智媒数据分析平台；后者则基于七牛云的MPaaS能力及利用其低代码平台的场景化音视频解决方案，让客户仅需简易部署，就可快速调用不同功能，实现业务目标。
根据艾瑞咨询的报告，按2023年收入计算，七牛云是中国第三大音视频PaaS服务商，市场份额为5.8%；按2023年APaaS所得收入计算，七牛云也是中国第二大音视频APaaS服务商，市场份额为14.1%。
深耕行业十余年，凭借强大的综合能力和拓展能力，七牛云已拥有了广泛的客户基础。覆盖了泛娱乐、社交网络、医疗、电子商务、教育、媒体、金融服务、汽车、电信和智能制造等各行各业。截至2024年3月31日，七牛云注册用户数量超过150万人，其中活跃用户数量为643857人。在2023年中国音视频应用下载量前20名中，有15名应用的运营商为七牛云的客户。
近些年，七牛云不断加强研发投入，打造生成式人工智能（AIGC）能力，布局音视频+AI战略，这些持续投入不仅增强了七牛云在音视频处理、人工智能等前沿技术领域的竞争力，也为其更好地服务客户、满足市场需求提供了有力支撑。
七牛云创始人兼CEO许式伟表示：“在创业之初，七牛云就坚持不要成为一家IaaS公司。我们做PaaS音视频服务，是因为音视频作为互联网远程交互的载体之一，将变得无处不在，这个垂直领域想象空间足够宽广。在市场的选择上，七牛云一直坚持纵向发展，围绕音视频做一站式服务深耕，做场景赋能，把该做的事情做深做好。每个时期都有不同的机会窗口，过去十年，七牛云抓住了移动互联网蓬勃发展的机遇才有了今天的成果。基于未来，我们的判断是，AI浪潮带来的是非延续的发展机会，七牛云布局音视频+AI战略，努力保持行业领先并持续创新。”
启明创投创始主管合伙人邝子平表示：“早在2012年，启明创投就开始接触七牛云创始团队。彼时，我们看到了云计算的发展潜能，七牛云创始人比肩国际水平的技术能力，让我们选择了投资。云计算在中国的发展历程，也是七牛云发展和自我迭代的过程，从早年为中小移动互联网企业提供云存储服务，到给中大型客户提供CDN及云存储，再到如今聚焦音视频云服务，团队一直坚持以先进的技术服务中国市场的初心，不断推出优质的产品满足不同阶段不同客户群体的需求。IPO是一个重要里程碑，启明创投依然看好云计算在中国的发展前景，我们期待七牛云保持技术先进性，推出更多受市场欢迎的产品。”
