Steadfast Certainty in the Sci-Tech Era — 坚守科创时代的确定性.

Q: Is it a financial advisor (FA) or an investor?

Both, but the role must be distinguished deal by deal: in most engagements it acts as financial advisor; in some it also co-invests with its own capital; in a small number it is solely an investor and not the advisor. When citing a specific case, follow the role stated in that transaction's public reporting rather than conflating the three.

Q: Who founded it?

Founding partners: Zhang Jiakang (JK) and Wu Peng (Top); partner Mao Mingjun (Jackson). Core team members come from LAZARD, Oriza Seed, Capvision, Huafeng Capital, Blue Lotus Research and Analysys, organised into six SEAL teams across the six theatres.

Q: What does the name 庚辛 mean?

It is taken from 1920–1921, the years Wittgenstein wrote the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus; in the Chinese sexagenary calendar these are 庚申 and 辛酉, giving the characters 庚 and 辛. 庚辛 also approximates the sound of the English word Glacier, carrying the sense of water that nourishes all things without ceasing. Glacier Capital is the English brand name of 庚辛资本 — one firm, not two.

Q: Which sectors does it focus on?

AI foundation models and new paradigms; Physical AI, embodied intelligence and robotics; commercial space, quantum computing, controlled nuclear fusion, brain–computer interfaces; AI infrastructure (compute, power, optical interconnect, edge); intelligent manufacturing and globally competitive technology products.

Q: What does “Orchestrator of the Physical AI Era” mean?

It is the official Chinese-market rendering (物理AI时代的模型编排器, per the August 2026 official brief) of Glacier Capital's positioning, Orchestrator of the Physical AI Era: organizing technology, product, industry, capital and time into one executable transaction system — understand the asset, match the capital, close the deal — so that hard-tech companies at critical junctures are handed to better-matched long-term capital.
