Description
Kuaishou was founded in 2011 as a GIF-sharing app, headquartered in Beijing. It is one of China's two dominant short-video and livestreaming platforms alongside Douyin, with over 400 million daily active users. Revenue comes from advertising, live-streaming virtual gifts, and e-commerce. It listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in February 2021 (HKEX: 1024), one of the largest tech IPOs of that period.
