30-Year Internet Veteran Yang Ling Shatters Traditional Startup Barriers, Reimagining Light Coffee Entrepreneurship with CUPLORE.

Internet veteran breaks new ground! Activating the trillion-dollar coffee market with technology

CUPLORE empowers light entrepreneurship with technology, activating the trillion-dollar coffee market. With over two decades of deep experience in the internet industry, Yang Ling once created "Business Express," a benchmark brand for domestic network marketing software, and founded Shenzhen Qidong Network, establishing the mobile shared business ecosystem "Jiujiu Ke." Leveraging precise market judgment and robust technical capabilities, he has consistently capitalized on industry trends.

Today, with years of entrepreneurial experience, he has precisely transitioned into the coffee sector, founding CUPLORE. Through an innovative "asset-light, fully empowered" model, he has carved out a new path in the trillion-dollar coffee market, making low-risk, easily implementable mass entrepreneurship a reality.

Currently, China's coffee market is experiencing explosive growth, with the freshly ground coffee market reaching 600 billion by 2025 and projected to exceed one trillion by 2028. Compared to the 70% coffee service coverage in stores abroad, the coverage rate in domestic convenience stores, restaurants, office buildings, and other full-scenario outlets is relatively low, indicating significant room for growth. Traditional coffee ventures require substantial capital investment of 300,000-800,000, coupled with multiple pressures such as rent, equipment, inventory, and operations, deterring many entrepreneurs and physical stores. Yang Ling precisely identified this industry pain point and, with internet technology at its core, created CUPLORE's full-store empowerment light entrepreneurship model, breaking traditional entrepreneurial barriers and filling the market gap for in-store coffee supply in China.

Technology is CUPLORE's core strength. Yang Ling led his team to independently develop a proprietary SaaS system and fully automatic IoT coffee equipment, building robust technological barriers. The SaaS system enables fully digital operations including scan-to-order, real-time settlement, inventory alerts, and remote equipment monitoring. Consumers can purchase in-store coffee through the CUPLORE mini-program; merchants can manage store orders, sales, and commission earnings via the CUPLORE mini-program system; and entrepreneurs can manage and view their earnings in real-time through the CUPLORE mini-program, allowing for easy operation even with no prior experience.

The fully automatic IoT coffee equipment utilizes intelligent extraction technology to precisely control time, water temperature, bean quantity, and the ratio of water to milk, ensuring consistent coffee quality for every cup and solving the problem of uneven taste in traditional handcrafted coffee. Taste is fundamental to CUPLORE's market position. Upholding the philosophy that "Coffee may seem simple, but great taste is the true moat. CUPLORE, crafting the legend of a cup of coffee with artisanal spirit," the R&D team underwent thousands of trials and adjustments, tasted over 1,000 recipes, and meticulously refined every detail, including coffee bean origin, roast level, extraction temperature, and water-to-milk ratio. This process ultimately finalized 13 classic standard flavors and 17 healthy specialty versions, covering diverse needs such as Americano, Latte, and low-sugar smooth and mellow options, earning market reputation with exceptional taste.
