He is the founder and managing partner of OGBC Group, a diversified holdings company headquartered in Singapore.

Early life and education

Jayden Wei's academic journey began at Monash University, where he earned a Bachelor of Business with majors in Economics and Finance. This degree provided him with a robust foundation in economic theory, financial analysis, market dynamics, and business operations, which proved instrumental in his subsequent career in venture capital and investment strategy.

In October 2021, Wei achieved a GMAT score of 770 (out of 800), placing him in the 99th percentile globally.[9] This exceptional score demonstrated his strong quantitative and analytical capabilities.

In March 2025, Wei was admitted to the prestigious Executive MBA program at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Class of 2027 (the 51st MBA for Executives class).[7] The official admission letter noted he was selected for his "outstanding accomplishments and potential for continued success."[8]

Career

Early career in blockchain

Wei's career began at the forefront of the blockchain revolution. From 2014 to 2017, he served in an investor relations capacity at Bitcoin Group Limited, an Australian bitcoin mining company headquartered in Melbourne. Bitcoin Group was notable for attempting what would have been the world's first bitcoin mining IPO on a major global exchange.[10]

The company, led by CEO Sam Lee, originally planned to list on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in November 2015. However, the IPO faced multiple delays due to regulatory scrutiny from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). In February 2016, the company raised only AUD $5.9 million against its target of AUD $20 million. Ultimately, in March 2016, Bitcoin Group withdrew its IPO after the ASX raised concerns about the company's working capital adequacy, and returned all funds to investors.[11] Despite the IPO's failure, Wei's experience at Bitcoin Group provided him with invaluable early exposure to the cryptocurrency industry and capital markets.

Following this, Wei co-founded Collins Star Capital in 2016, serving as a Founding Partner until 2020. Collins Star Capital is an asset management firm specializing in financial technologies, blockchain infrastructure, digital currency investments, and consulting services. At Collins Star, Wei led investments in numerous early-stage blockchain and fintech projects, focusing on rigorous due diligence and market-entry strategies for the Asia-Pacific region.

A notable achievement during Wei's tenure at Collins Star was the firm's multi-million dollar partnership with Monash University in October 2017.[12] This collaboration established a joint blockchain cryptocurrency research and development lab at Monash University's Clayton campus, with an additional research node at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The partnership brought together leading cryptography researchers including Dr. Joseph Liu from Monash's Faculty of Information Technology and Dr. Allen Au from Hong Kong Polytechnic, whose pioneering work on linkable ring signatures formed the theoretical basis for Monero, one of the world's largest cryptocurrencies. This academic-industry collaboration demonstrated Collins Star's commitment to advancing blockchain technology through rigorous research.

OGBC Group

In 2020, Jayden Wei founded OGBC Group, where he currently serves as the Managing Partner. OGBC Group is a diversified holdings company with a strategic focus on transformative sectors such as Web3, artificial intelligence, and ESG-compliant energy solutions. In 2025, OGBC Innovation Hub hosted over 70 events with 2,800+ guests, including teams from four of the world's largest protocols—BNB, Solana, Chainlink, and XRP—representing over $350 billion in combined market capitalization.[15]

Under his leadership, the firm has made significant strategic investments in deep-tech companies, including the quantum computing firm PsiQuantum, signaling his commitment to backing technologies with long-term, foundational potential.[1]

In September 2025, OGBC Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Chaince Securities, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: MFH).[13] MFH was recognized as one of the top performers in the Russell 2000 Index for Q3 2025, recording an approximately 538% increase in share price during the quarter.[14] The collaboration focuses on digital asset integration with traditional finance, including joint advisory on the creation of a Digital Asset Treasury fund targeting blockchain projects in Asia. Under this arrangement, Chaince Securities provides investment banking services, including fundraising and capital markets advisory, for companies adopting the Digital Asset Treasury model.

Investment philosophy and achievements

Throughout his career, Jayden Wei has achieved significant milestones in the venture capital and technology sectors:

• Raised over $100 million in capital for startups across blockchain, AI, and sustainable technology sectors
• Assisted more than 50 companies with their expansion into the Asia-Pacific market
• Accumulated over a decade of experience in venture capital and entrepreneurship
• Strategic investments in quantum computing and deep-tech companies

Wei's investment philosophy centers on identifying and supporting visionary founders who are building technologies with the potential for significant societal impact. He emphasizes the importance of sustainable ecosystem development and transparent business practices in all investment decisions.

Beyond venture capital, Wei is also a long-term holder of Tesla stock. According to his social media, he attended Elon Musk's "We, Robot" unveiling event in October 2024—an exclusive invitation-only event limited to approximately 1,500 shareholders holding over $10 million USD worth of Tesla stock at the time of the event.[16]

Controversies and response

During the early, speculative phase of the blockchain industry, Jayden Wei was briefly associated with the Hypertech project. However, Wei departed from the project in mid-2021 after discovering that entities including Hypercapital, Hyperfund, Hyperverse, and Hypermining—which later became subjects of controversy—had appointed him as CEO without his knowledge or consent, for products over which he had no visibility or operational control. Recognizing that the team was leveraging his personal credibility without transparency, Wei made the decisive choice to sever all ties with the project. He received no financial benefit from his brief involvement and has had no association with these entities since his departure.

Statutory Declaration

In November 2022, Wei executed a Statutory Declaration under the Australian Oaths and Affirmations Act 2018, witnessed by Teck Kuik, a legal practitioner of Hatchstone Capital in Melbourne. In this legally binding document, Wei declared under oath that:[5]

• He was never appointed as CEO of Hypercapital, Hyperfund, Hyperverse, or Hypermining
• He was not involved in the business activities of these entities
• Social media content implicating him as an officer of these entities, including certain YouTube interview videos, were untrue and manipulated
• Such content had manipulated an original interview about his involvement with the Hypertech project and inaccurately associated him with the above-mentioned businesses
• Hypertech was not involved with the business activities of these entities during his involvement

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Clearance

In April 2025, Wei received official correspondence from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP), confirming that the agency had completed a thorough review of his case and made necessary corrections to records to assist in avoiding incidents of misidentification.[6] This clearance demonstrates that Wei has been formally cleared through the U.S. government's redress process.

Current Position

These experiences profoundly shaped Wei's professional ethos, reinforcing the critical importance of building transparent, sustainable, and value-driven ecosystems. He has since become a vocal advocate for responsible innovation, publicly stating that technology must be centered on solving tangible problems and creating long-term value rather than fueling short-term speculation. Wei emphasizes the importance of due diligence and maintaining full operational visibility in any venture he undertakes.

"I am committed to fostering responsible innovation that benefits society... This website is part of my personal mission to reclaim my narrative, share insights, and connect with forward-thinking partners."

His leadership at OGBC Group exemplifies this commitment. The firm's focus on investments in deep-tech and ESG-focused projects, such as its stake in PsiQuantum, demonstrates a clear shift towards supporting technologies that promise enduring and positive global impact.
