I’m currently tinkering with something new with Sincerely Studios, building (fun) consumer software (for fun).
Under Sincerely, I previously co-founded Soundmap, Sincerely, Friendship Bracelets, and 20+ consumer apps. We are backed by a16z Speedrun, Gold House Ventures, Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, and more. Before Sincerely, I worked on other consumer apps and invested in early-stage consumer teams with Intonation Studios.
I grew up in Beijing and now live in New York City. I studied Psychology & Econ at Columbia, although most of my time was spent on playing music.
Feel free to reach me on X!
