I grew up in Queens, New York. Fuzhounese American, working at my mother's restaurant. I'm now in San Francisco and obsessed with talent.
I believe the most exceptional people, out-of-distribution founders, share a pattern: trauma, neurodivergence, polymathy. Traditional systems miss them every time. I invest in and support these founders. My life goal is to find and serve the top 1% of humanity.
I dropped out of Northeastern, couch-surfed in SF, and sent hundreds of cold emails to break into venture. Previously at xAI, growth at Delphi, and investing at Parable. Susa Fellow and angel investor.
I host events to bring young people together. I write personal essays about identity, loyalty, the immigrant experience, and what it means to chase the American Dream.
If you're building something out-of-distribution, I'd love to hear from you.
