description: 'Aipingji (爱拼机, also romanized Apin / Aipinji) was a Hangzhou, China travel-technology startup — legal entity
  杭州爱拼机网络科技有限公司, incorporated 7 May 2015 in the Binjiang district — that built a C2B "intelligent group-buying" marketplace
  for discounted international air tickets. Rather than reselling published fares, it aggregated the unsold seat inventory
  of roughly a thousand Chinese charter operators (包机商), who buy blocks of seats from airlines in advance, and let consumers
  form 10-15 person buying groups against a specific date until the group filled and tickets were issued, taking a reported
  5% commission from the charter operator. The app served 36 destinations from Hangzhou, Shanghai and Nanjing, and the company
  raised an angel round (Aug 2015, 天使汇), a tens-of-millions-RMB Series A (Apr 2016, led by 耀途资本 with 光合基金 and others), a ¥120M
  Series B (Jan 2017, 华映资本 and 弘帆资本) and a Series B+ (Jun 2017, 一村资本, 华映资本, Century Capital, Shenxuan Investment). No first-party
  surface survives: the domain cited as its site, apin.com, is now a parked listing offered for sale at ¥199,999 through the
  Chinese domain broker ename.com.cn and answers 403 on every path but the sale lander, the mobile app''s last recorded update
  was September 2017, and there is no developer portal, GitHub organization, published package, or API of any kind.'

x-status-detail: 'No first-party host resolves or serves for Aipingji. The only domain any source ties to the company — apin.com,
  named as its operating site on its CB Insights profile — is now a domain-broker holding page: http://apin.com/ returns an
  ename.com.cn "This domain is for sale" lander (¥199,999 一口价) and every other path under it, including /.well-known/agent-card.json,
  /openapi.json and /robots.txt, returns 403; HTTPS on that host does not complete a connection. aipingji.com, aipingji.cn,
  aipinji.com and api.aipingji.com do not resolve at all. The www.belephtro.com string carried as "official website" on the
  36Kr PitchHub record resolves but never answers on port 80 or 443 and is not a plausible first-party brand host, so it was
  not wired as a Website pointer. The EquityZen secondary-market listing this record was harvested from is live and still
  describes this company, but a trading-venue listing page is not a company web presence, so it is recorded here as type SecondaryMarket
  rather than type Website.'

x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: defunct
  detail: Aipingji's operating domain apin.com is now a for-sale parking page at the Chinese domain broker ename.com.cn —
    the root returns the "您正在访问的域名可以转让 / This domain is for sale" lander and every deeper path, including /openapi.json, /llms.txt,
    /robots.txt and /.well-known/agent-card.json, returns 403 — so STEP 0b contract discovery had no live first-party host
    to run against; aipingji.com, aipinji.com and api.aipingji.com do not resolve, there is no GitHub organization or published
    npm/PyPI package under any spelling of the name, and the company's app has no recorded update since September 2017.
