On 6 April 2010 Xiaomi was co-founded by Lei Jun and six others:

• Lin Bin ({{lang|zh|林斌}}), vice president of the Google China Institute of Engineering
• Zhou Guangping ({{lang|zh|周光平}}), senior director of the Motorola Beijing R&D center
• Liu De ({{lang|zh|刘德}}), department chair of the Department of Industrial Design at the University of Science and Technology Beijing
• Li Wanqiang ({{lang|zh|黎万强}}), general manager of Kingsoft Dictionary
• Huang Jiangji ({{lang|zh|黄江吉}}), principal development manager
• Hong Feng ({{lang|zh|洪峰}}), senior product manager for Google China

Lei had founded Kingsoft as well as Joyo.com, the latter of which he sold to Amazon for $75 million in 2004. At the time of the founding of the company, Lei was dissatisfied with the products of other mobile phone manufacturers and thought he could make a better product.
