## Audit of pasted claims
| Pasted claim | Finding |
|---|---|
| Hangzhou HQ / Somerville US office | Supported by current company contact page. |
| Han Bicheng CEO/founder | Verified; avoid duplicate Person records under reversed transliteration. |
| $370M funding | Outdated versus company claim **$500M R&D funding**, which is not an independently reconstructed equity total. |
| Bionic hand / Focus1 / Kneuro | Hand and knee prosthetic families supported; Focus1 is historical, and exact Kneuro brand mapping requires review against current knee catalogue. |
| Active | Current site and 2026 interviews support operating business; public listing not confirmed. |

| Date | Amount / instrument | Investors / evidence |
|---|---|---|
| **2016-12-14** | **USD5.5M Pre-A** | Boston Angel Club, Han Tan Capital, Wandai Capital, per [company-issued funding announcement](https://brainco.newswire.com/news/brainco-raises-5-5-million-in-pre-a-funding-18248460 ). |

Logo: https://www.brainco.cn/icons/logo.pc.webp ; followed actual image link from [official about page](https://www.brainco.cn/en-US/about ). Founder portrait followed actual image immediately above explicit founder/CEO caption, credited to interviewee; web image fetch timed out, but subsequent direct HEAD returned200 image/jpeg on2026-10-06. Other company-syndicated interview images are prostheses/product shots, not automatically founder portraits. No complete current named management roster established on official about/contact pages.
## Adex match and review decision
No Org name match in read-only BrainCo search. Proposed **BrainCo**; review parent/subsidiary overlap with **BrainRobotics** before import and distinguish Chinese/US legal entities. Suitable company candidate with funding and group-structure review flags. Use named CEO portrait provenance; funding total should remain blank unless attributed claims are supported by schema.
