Science and technology have always permeated my life. From a young age, I admired robots and space, and in college, I studied business and computer science, exploring various tech companies. After graduation, I gained practical experience as a software engineer and product manager. Currently, I invest in technology startups as a venture capitalist. Science and technology continue to guide my choices.

Technology is inherently interesting and fun. Historically, many entrepreneurs have dived into R&D driven by the excitement and potential of technology, leading to ongoing innovations in our lives. However, while this fundamental curiosity is a powerful motivator, it can also be risky. For a company's growth, balancing technological curiosity with an understanding of customers and the market is vital. A one-sided focus could impede long-term growth.

Leveraging my background in both business and technology, I am committed to being an investor who not only deeply empathizes with tech entrepreneurs but also actively assists them in achieving smoother business results.
