JK

JK is the English nickname of Liu Jingkang (刘靖康), founder and chairman of Insta360 (影石创新), the panoramic/smart-imaging company he started in 2015 while still an undergraduate — pitching a 360° camera concept that at the time had "no market validation and no industry consensus," as Qiming Venture Partners partner Ye Guantai recalled when explaining why Qiming backed him that same year, in what became one of the firm's highest-return investments . Born in 1991, he was described by 暗涌Waves as a "genius kid" turned one of China's youngest leaders of a hundred-billion-yuan market-cap company after Insta360 listed on the STAR Market in mid-2025 . He frames the company around its "Think Bold" ethos and openly treats DJI's Frank Wang as the rival to beat, telling 暗涌Waves that "surviving and still creating new things against a competitor of DJI's level motivates me far more than 'becoming someone'" . Beyond Qiming, FreeS Fund's Feng Li was also an early backer, and in 2025 Liu was named to Wealth China's 40 Under 40 business elite list .
