Wikipedia says Oriental Fortune Capital (OFC, Dongfang Fuhai) was co-founded in 2006 by Chen Wei, who had earlier been President of Shenzhen Capital Group. Baidu Baike gives the establishment date as October 2006 and names Chen Wei as legal representative. It describes the firm as a non-listed joint-stock company doing private equity investment, fund management and value-added services. Crunchbase lists Chen Wei as chairman and founder. Wikipedia puts assets under management at about US$4.8 billion in 2024. Sources disagree on headcount, with Wikipedia citing 150 employees and Baidu Baike citing 36 for 2024. The firm has not published a named list of partners who lead AI deals, so none is listed here.

OFC has no separate AI fund that we could confirm. AI deals sit inside its general technology and early-stage investing. Crunchbase tags the firm with Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductor, Enterprise Software and Advanced Materials. Its funds, per Crunchbase, include a technology innovation fund for early and expansion-stage technology companies and an industry merger and acquisition fund. In May 2026 it co-led, with Jiyuan Capital (GGV), a seed-series round of nearly RMB 100 million in CiMicro.Ai. This Shanghai-area chip designer was founded in 2025 and works on inference chips for edge and on-device large models and agents. In May 2025 the firm also received NAFMII registration approval to issue up to RMB 1.5 billion in technology innovation bonds, according to Baidu Baike. The bonds are a financing route for its technology investing and not an AI fund.

Crunchbase describes a preferred allocation of 20% of the portfolio to early stage, 40% to expansion stage and 40% to Pre-IPO. The firm also writes early rounds directly. It was the sole investor in the angel round of Zhongwei Jingyi, a laser processing equipment maker founded in November 2024. The AI rounds on the Lounge deals desk are mostly seed, at roughly US$15 million to US$30 million in total round size. Those are round totals and not OFC's own checks. The firm has not published a standard check size, and third-party estimates are unverified, so none is given.
