Beijing Ju Ai Cai Technology Co., Ltd., operating as Juaicai.cn, was a mobile financial technology firm established in Beijing on July 8, 2014. The company was founded by CEO Ren Heng, a serial entrepreneur with a robust background in both computer science and finance. Ren Heng earned dual master's degrees in Computer Science and Management Science & Engineering with a focus on finance from Stanford University and holds a bachelor's degree from Tsinghua University's computer science department. His professional journey included roles at Oracle, Microsoft, eBay, iQiyi, and PP Wallet, which equipped him with a blend of internet and financial expertise. The impetus for creating Juaicai stemmed from Ren's observation of the 2009 financial crisis in the U.S. and a desire to provide better financial tools for ordinary people in China.

Juaicai positioned itself as a P2F (Personal-to-Financial institution) mobile intelligent wealth management platform rather than a traditional P2P lender. The business model centered on acting as a "transporter" of secure, high-quality assets from traditional financial institutions like banks to its user base. The company did not create assets or issue loans but instead focused on selecting and combining existing financial products to offer to its clients. Its services were designed for the general public, aiming to make wealth management accessible through mobile technology. Revenue was generated through asset and investment management services. The platform provided users with access to financial products such as low-risk debt instruments and money market funds from banking partners. One of its offerings, Juaicai Plus, utilized mathematical models and algorithms to provide personalized cross-asset allocation for users.

The company achieved several milestones, including securing a Series A funding round in October 2014 from Source Code Capital and Greenwoods Investment, followed by a Series B in June 2015. By September 2015, Juaicai reported having over 1.9 million registered users and cumulative investment exceeding 4 billion RMB. However, in 2018, the company faced a significant crisis involving payment delinquencies. The founder, Ren Heng, alleged that the firm was a victim of fraud, leading to a period of instability and efforts to conduct asset verification and recovery.
