Named President & CEO of Y Combinator. Now shaping the future of tech on the biggest stage possible.

Closed a $115M fund for Initialized. Landed on the Forbes Midas List—multiple times. The world started to notice.

Co-founded Initialized Capital. Bet early on Instacart, Flexport, and other game-changers. Watched the returns stack up.

Signed on as a partner and designer in residence at YC. Invested in future juggernauts like Coinbase. Got a front-row seat to startup greatness.

Photographer for Y Combinator. Co-founded Posterous, a blogging platform that made sharing effortless. Sold it to Twitter in 2012—my official gateway to bigger bets.

Posterous Launch

Got in early at Palantir as the 10th employee. The intensity was real—and the spark for building something big was lit.

Enrolled in Computer Systems Engineering at Stanford. Learned from brilliant people and set the stage for everything to come.

Got hooked on programming and hustled my first job by cold-calling from the Yellow Pages. I was set on making moves, not excuses.

Born in Winnipeg, Canada, to a Chinese Singaporean father and Burmese-Chinese mother. Moved to Fremont, CA in '91 and never looked back.
