Bio

George is passionate about innovative business ideas and cutting-edge technology powered by undaunted entrepreneurs with outstanding capability, ultimately bringing benefits to humankind and making life better. He would like to accompany those visionary pioneers throughout their expedition and witness their greatness. As an investor, George focuses on networks and platforms with huge potential as well as advanced technology trends such as AI. First Principal Thinking has always guided him to boil down to the fundamental truth to find answers to the world’s mysteries.

Prior to joining DCM, George worked at Redpoint Ventures as an Associate, where assisted in a variety of investments in the private market. He was responsible for sourcing, analyzing, modeling, performing due diligence and leading the deals. His experience in video/social/ecommerce/community enables him to understand how important “connectivity” is to enhance efficiency and user experience. Before that, he was a member of M&A team at 58.com(NASDAQ:WUBA) and saw how a listed Internet company operates. George started his career as an analyst at BDA, a consulting firm serving global PE giants including those most successful financial institutions.

George is a loyal fan of the Star Wars Series and Anakin’ s turning to the dark side definitely let him down as a boy in middle school. Recently he has spent a lot of time working on a LEGO Technic, even and enjoys watching NBA Spurs’ games. In his spare time, he enjoys playing basketball and taking photos.
