Shanghai Yijing Investment Co. Ltd.

Shanghai Yijing Investment Co. Ltd.

Wang Jian established Shanghai Yijing Investment in 2007 after building and selling a cloud computing firm to Alibaba. The wealth originates from that exit, and Wang has since grown Yijing into a multi-asset family office with a global footprint. Yijing invests across venture capital, growth equity, private credit, and real estate. The firm has backed companies including Nio, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, and Meituan, a food delivery and services platform. It also holds positions in US-based technology firms such as Stripe and SpaceX. Geographic exposure spans China, the United States, and select European markets. The office is believed to manage hundreds of millions to over $1 billion in assets, though it does not publicly disclose AUM. Its team includes professionals with experience at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Blackstone. Yijing also operates a philanthropic arm, the Yijing Foundation, which funds education and environmental initiatives in China. A distinguishing feature of Shanghai Yijing is its direct co-investment model — it often leads rounds alongside venture firms rather than committing to fund vehicles. This structure gives Wang and his team hands-on influence over portfolio companies, a rare posture for a family office of this size.
