Jinding Capital

Jinding Capital (金鼎资本) is a China-based investment firm that specializes in corporate venture capital (CVC) partnerships with listed consumer companies, as described in a 2023 暗涌Waves analysis of industrial investment trends . Rather than operating as a traditional standalone fund, it functions as a dedicated CVC contractor for public companies, having assisted more than twenty firms in establishing their own investment vehicles. Its partnerships include pet food maker Zhongchong Pet Products (中宠股份), cosmetics group Marubi (丸美股份), and snack-food retailer Laiyifen (来伊份), typically through joint billion-yuan-scale funds .

The firm also makes direct venture investments. It co-led the Series B and B+ rounds for color-contact-lens brand Kilala (可啦啦) in 2021 alongside Innovation Works and YuanYi Investment, and led the nearly 100 million yuan Series A+ round for medical-food company Methuselah (玛士撒拉) in 2023, with FreeS Capital (峰瑞资本) participating as a returning investor in both deals .
