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

[Andrew Chung @achung]

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.

[Andrew Chung @achung]

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

[Andrew Chung @achung]

@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.

[The Good Food Institute @GoodFoodInst]

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

[Andrew Chung @achung]

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

Join @CoralChung & me to #StopAsianHate. Inspired by @hanstung @jeremysliew @EricKimSF @ericsyuan @JLin7 @arden_cho, we will match $25K in donations to critical organizations such as @StopAAPIHate, @AAAJ_Atlanta, AAPI Community Fund, @CompassionInOak. Reply or DM w/ receipts.

[Hans Tung @hanstung]

We are now over $1Mil on 7th day. We hope more will join us 🙏！Thank you @jrichlive @glennsolomon @GGVCapital @lightspeedvp @jeremysliew @erickimSF @chchien @GoodwaterCap @garrytan @Initialized @gcvp @ChenaultKen @htaneja @albertlee @ericsyuan @efeng @JLin7 @lorakolodny & others

[Andrew Chung @achung]

@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

[Andrew Chung @achung]

@erickimSF @GGVCapital @hanstung @jeremysliew @GoodwaterCap @chchien @glennsolomon @arden_cho @JLin7 @ericnamofficial @eddienam @danieldaekim Thanks all for taking the lead. @CoralChung & I will add $25K here & are rallying folks elsewhere. As AAPI-founded firms, @1955capital & @senreve condemn all forms of racism & bigotry. I wrote my feelings in this Fortune OpEd - pls share if it resonates: https://t.co/3zDk8aRgQG

[Hans Tung @hanstung]

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

[Andrew Chung @achung]

Thanks @LinkedInNews for posting my perspective & the OpEd I wrote with @FortuneMagazine & @ellmcgirt. At @1955Capital, we condemn all forms of racism & bigotry and continue to hope that more will heed the call to action. #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate. https://t.co/X7YmKA7Mnx
