Brian Gu - Xpeng Vice Chairman - On Building An EV Startup To Compete With Tesla


Listen Later

Xpeng Motors is one of China's most impressive EV startups. The company was founded in 2014 by billionaire He Xiaopeng. Mr. He sensed an opportunity to bring his expertise in technology and software to the automotive arena. In 2018, Mr He Xiaopeng persuaded Brian Gu to leave his prestigious position as Chairman of JP Morgan Asia Pacific and join Xpeng. Mr. Gu quickly got to work preparing Xpeng for an IPO in New York. Xpeng's market listing in August 2020 generated more than $5 billion in new funding.
