Company builder & 1955 Capital founder. Inventing a new global future. In search of world-changing ideas in energy, food, ag, health, education & emerging tech.
Recent hate crimes shook Asian America, but such discrimination has existed for generations. The American Dream is at risk. Time for action. Thank you @ellenmcgirt & @FortuneMagazine for the opportunity to say something. #StopAsianHate@StopAAPIHate https://t.co/wGcARvff4L
So grateful to work alongside @KenOno691 — and even more grateful that he believes in what we’re building at Math in the Mountains.
This program exists because of mentors like him. 🏔️
🎬

Proud to support this new film from @KenOno691, who previously helped bring The Man Who Knew Infinity to life — a film that meant a great deal to Aria.
Maryam Mirzakhani’s story belongs in that lineage. Inspiring, heartbreaking, essential.
1/ ANNOUNCING 🎬
MARYAM: The Mirror and the Map, a feature film about Fields Medalist Maryam Mirzakhani (the first woman to win the Fields Medal).
After The Man Who Knew Infinity, writer/director Matt Brown, Manjul Bhargava & I are reuniting as associate producers.
RIP #CharlieMunger, who invited me to dinner - despite his disdain for VCs. Wish I had met this kindred spirit & mentor years sooner. We discussed @1955capital fixing the broken #VC model, humble beginnings & dear mentors like @vkhosla. #BerkshireHathaway https://t.co/nOauTqzppd
Talking with Gordon Moore, founder of @intel, years ago helped shape my current view on #innovation. Predictable experience curves like Moore’s Law united in novel ways create unpredictable outcomes. Thanks for your contributions to humankind, Gordon.

I had the tremendous honor of hosting @JaneGoodallInst for #ClimateWeek with @tetonscience. Jane’s relentless energy at 88 inspired #hope in difficult times for 700 souls. She motivated us to do more for conservation & revitalize the human spirit for exploration. Unforgettable.
#LunarEclipse from Jackson Hole, Wyoming shot on a Canon R5. Clear skies in the Tetons made the magical event all the more spectacular. #Astrophotography#BloodMoon
Deeply saddened by the loss of @Madeleine, a true beacon of hope for democracy and champion for global partnerships. Our last dinner together in 2015 helped inspire @1955Capital’s ultimate mission, and we will continue to serve in her memory as we create a new global future.
Congrats to @1955Capital portfolio co. @NaturesFynd on their upcoming @WholeFoods debut! We’re thrilled to see the impact Fy Protein continues to make in the alternative protein market. #naturesfynd#sustainability#climatetech

Join me in congratulating @LanzaTech & its brilliant CEO @TodaDogs on going public! As a longtime investor & former board member, I’m excited to see #LanzaTech’s innovative & essential carbon recycling tech continue to change the world. #climatetech https://t.co/4EWAR6F0df
@WilliamShatner, aka Captain Kirk, just boldly went where no 90-year-old has gone before by launching into space on @JeffBezos’s @blueorigin rocket. Art meets real life, as @StarTrek continues to inspire generations of researchers & innovators to turn sci-fi into sci-fact.
This news further confirms that investors see the incredible potential for fermentation technology to transform the way we feed the world––especially in regions like China that are facing a protein shortage. Early Nature's Fynd investor @achung explains: https://t.co/NAGKruc4bk
Congrats @NaturesFynd for raising $350M. I’m grateful & humbled that the founders chose 1955 as Series A lead in 2018. Their incredible vision is unchanged: to build the next great sustainable food company & impact the lives of millions around the globe. https://t.co/bknlP0z8x6
I stand with 1,000+ AAPI business leaders against hate crimes. See our letter in today’s @WSJ & my @Fortune Op-Ed from last week here: https://t.co/sazcvRjJTH. Thanks @davelu & @AsianPacificFnd for driving. Join movement here: https://t.co/b0yfAol7b3. #Enough#StopAsianHate
@lorakolodny I agree. Partly due to indifference, partly due to AAPI tendency to stay invisible. I grappled with whether to share thoughts on the shootings & almost resigned to "it's just another day" before deciding to write this OpEd. More need courage to speak up. https://t.co/3zDk8aRgQG
As a 1st generation Taiwanese American, I relate to this. Shared experiences of Asian American friends (of women & men, young & old, new immigrants & those born in USA) made it easier for us to launch campaigns to support #StopAsianHate efforts & #BLM last yr. #stopallhate
Alumnus @achung, AB '99, wrote an opinion piece in @FortuneMagazine, reflecting on anti-Asian racism and issuing a call to action. https://t.co/DTCsjiQENM @HarvardAlumni
