(Yicai Global) Oct. 20 -- Celebrity companionship platform Shikongsuo has bagged millions of yuan in angel funding in a round led by Dream Chaser Capital, and PurpleSky Capital, Yang Yang Investment and Aiospace, 36Kr reported.

Shikongsuo will use the funds for product development and promotion, said Shao Jieer, the group's founder.

Shikongsuo hopes to build a platform where users can pay to spend time with television and movie stars, well-known entrepreneurs, investors and internet celebrities, Shao said. 

The group rolled out its platform half a month ago and is developing its app and WeChat Mini Program. The platform has more than 20 million registered users, hundreds of paying ones and hundreds of thousands of yuan in operating capital, said Shao.

Shikongsuo mainly profits from transaction fees and commissions, and will introduce stores, Shao said.

Shikongsuo offers a marketplace for purchasing time with celebrities as well as one for buying 'star stocks' that securitize celebrities' time.

The platform's major offering is offline group courses, most of which are investor and entrepreneur classes limited to one hundred participants. Private dinners with celebs are specialty items.

The focus of the platform is not A-list celebrities, but their support will be necessary, said Shao. The platform will focus on second- and third-tier stars and internet celebrities. Investors and entrepreneurs are currently the platform's mainstays, and it will introduce internet celebrities soon.
