Zhihu (知乎) is a Chinese online question-and-answer and knowledge-sharing community, often described as China's answer to Quora, where users post questions and answers, follow topics and creators, and consume long-form content, columns, live sessions, e-books and short video. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Beijing, Zhihu operates one of China's largest online content communities and is dual-listed (NYSE: ZH; HKEX: 2390). It was surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of Qiming Venture Partners. As of this enrichment pass Zhihu publishes no public developer platform, open API, SDKs, or machine-readable API artifacts on its primary domain; this profile therefore captures company identity plus a probed domain-security posture rather than an API surface.
