Jingwei Li
Jingwei is a Senior Associate at F-Prime, investing at the intersection of fintech and digital assets, with a focus on the core infrastructure that underpins modern financial and economic systems.
Earlier in his investing career, Jingwei focused exclusively on fintech. That experience shaped his conviction that while application-layer innovation can meaningfully expand access and improve usability, the next wave of progress depends on modernizing the underlying infrastructure. He now focuses on digital assets as one of the core building blocks enabling that transition across payments, private markets, and capital markets.
Before joining F-Prime, Jingwei worked at Boston Consulting Group, where he developed a ground-level understanding of how large organizations evaluate growth, risk, and technology adoption. He began his career at the Bank of England, gaining rare, inside perspective on how the financial system itself is constructed and governed at its core.
Jingwei holds an MSc in Finance from Imperial College London. His exposure to digital assets began in 2017, when he helped launching a blockchain-native digital bank that raised $20 million via a public token sale.
