Our People
Zihao Xu
Zihao joined Octopus Ventures in 2016 and is part of our Fintech team. He is particularly drawn to the infrastructure layer in both traditional capital markets and the crypto world. He believes open ecosystems out-innovate closed ones, that plummeting transaction costs will re-organise entire industries, and that pricing new data into more efficient markets will be a driving force for economic prosperity in the next century.
Prior to Octopus, he spent five years as a strategy consultant at Roland Berger and ran a side-hustle selling sunglasses for Bitcoin (and fiat). Zihao was born in China and holds a BA in economics and management from the University of Oxford, where he developed a curiosity for Austrian economics and the denationalisation of money.
Outside of the office, Zihao is obsessed with adventure travel and has attempted overland trips with varying degrees of success.
