The China-based last-mile food logistics service has completed a series C round featuring SoftBank's local corporate venturing subsidiary, SBCVC.

The app-based home cleaning service has floated on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations market after raising four rounds of funding from investors including Tencent and Shanda.

Fosun Group and Tal Education provided the funding for the educational software developer, which has reportedly now raised $27m in total.

Short-haul travel specialist Yaochufa will use the funding, and a partnership with UTour, to expand the range of destinations it offers its Chinese customers.

The last-mile delivery service will use the proceeds from the Yahoo Japan-backed round to grow its customer service capabilities and expand further into Southeast Asia.

Allianz spinout Idinvest contributed to a series B round that will help the UK-based background checking service expand in the US.

IDG was one of the accommodation rental platform's seed investors, and has come back to co-lead its latest round, which will go to growth and technology development.

SoftBank returned for the daily contextual insight service's second funding round, which was led by GE Asset Management, lifting its total funding to $22m.

Alibaba's ten-figure investments in Ele.me and Lazada last week could signify the ramping up of an investment strategy that has already dramatically grown the e-commerce group's offering.
