Current

Building programs at Felicis to support the next generation of founders. I sometimes get the opportunity to angel invest in incredible people, which I don't take lightly.

Previously

Grew up in an old part of Shanghai (小南门) that's mostly been torn down for redevelopment
Moved to the suburbs of LA when I was 8
Built my university's first hackathon with friends. 500 ppl participated and had a ton of fun
Started my career in consulting (snuck into a career fair to get the job)
Spent last few years working across inv. strategy, fundraising, and founder support

Paying it forward

Many people took chances on me before I'd done much to deserve it. I'll never forget it. If you're building something (or even just exploring), please reach out. I'd love to help however I can.

Getting the right people together is everything. The rest is secondary. From there, it's about creating the conditions for genuine relationships so folks walk away with a deeper connection.

If you'd like to meet more folks building in AI, I'd love to hear from you!
