on april 20, yu hao, founder and ceo of dreame technology, revealed in an interview that since its founding in 2017, the company has achieved an average annual revenue growth of 100% for eight consecutive years while maintaining high profit margins. its products are now sold in 120 countries and regions worldwide, with market shares ranking first in more than 30 of those markets.
yu hao integrates physics-based thinking into business decision-making: he pursues low-risk expansion by minimizing the trial-and-error radius and deepens penetration in the high-end market through the “n+1” innovation methodology. behind this approach is an exceptionally calm and prudent entrepreneur—one who does not chase fleeting trends, does not gamble on probabilities, and respects first principles.
in the interview, yu hao stated bluntly: “chinese entrepreneurs are the strongest group in the world.” he cited byd founder wang chuanfu as an example: “wang chuanfu’s greatness is in no way inferior to elon musk’s—perhaps even greater.” according to yu hao, silicon valley thrives on a venture-capital-driven financing model, whereas chinese entrepreneurs must constantly strike a balance between “dreaming big” and “surviving.” “this environment has produced the world’s most formidable entrepreneurs. on china’s streets today, you can find individuals who embody the spirit of rockefeller, carnegie, jobs, and bill gates—all these qualities are blended in a single generation of entrepreneurs, which is truly remarkable.”
dreame’s growth trajectory confirms this assessment. amidst fierce competition in the smart cleaning appliance sector, the company has established itself as one of china’s leading examples of tech manufacturing going global, thanks to its average annual growth rate of 100% and top market share in over 30 countries. yu hao’s physics-inspired mindset is no mere theory: he validates strategic directions at extremely low trial-and-error costs and adopts a steady, step-by-step “n+1” approach, ultimately building global technological barriers and strong brand recognition in areas such as robotic vacuum cleaners, floor-washing robots, and conventional vacuum cleaners.
from eight consecutive years of doubling in size to unwavering confidence in the entrepreneurial spirit, dreame technology is demonstrating that, in an uncertain business environment, rational experimentalism is far more sustainable than aggressive, burn-rate-driven strategies.
