Founder & CEO of Fountain and Founder & General Partner of Formulate Ventures.

Fountain is the Web3 Operating System for enterprises and institutions, headquartered in NYC and backed by Alliance, Foundation Capital, Caladan, United Overseas Bank, and others. Formulate Ventures is an early-stage VC firm specializing in enterprise SaaS, AI, frontier tech, and Web3, with over 60 portfolio companies under management.

My mission is to enable and co-create a new system that accelerates human development and the ascension of our collective consciousness. In my spare time, I enjoy studying technology and politics, traveling to learn about new cultures, and visiting art museums around the world. I practice meditation and love exploring diverse interpretations and understandings of spirituality.

Before founding Fountain and Formulate Ventures, I was a machine learning engineer, the founder of an AI company, and a Partner at Foundation Capital. I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, with a focus on AI, and earned an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business. I grew up in Taipei, Taiwan, and Phoenix, Arizona, lived in San Francisco, and currently reside in NYC.
