Established in 2007, JD Capital managed to immediately develop a solid foothold in the Chinese private equity (PE) market by massively investing in pre-IPO prices and taking advantage of the high valuation given by the ChiNext Board. JD Capital has participated in a "factory-style" operational model. The firm has around 60 division locations across China with more than 300 workers, where each local office is responsible for local deal sourcing and for strengthening communications with local governments, banks, and securities firms.
