About

I'm an early-stage venture investor at Leadout Capital, an early-stage fund investing across all categories of software and software-enabled businesses, often in large, sleepy markets underserved by technology and out of the limelight. I am especially inspired by visionary founders who see the world differently and are committed to transforming their ideas into reality, reshaping how the world thinks about something in a completely new way.

On a personal level, I've spent my upbringing across both the US and China, and have benefitted from studying the parallels and divergence of the world’s two largest tech ecosystems. As a result, I am especially attracted to companies that demonstrate the DNA to go global from day one.

Before Leadout, I built security/compliance automation tools at Laika, helped grow the developer platform and apps ecosystem at Rippling, and started my career as a founding investor of Olive Capital, an early-stage deep-tech fund that spun out of ZhenFund.
