Principal

Han is a principal at GV, investing in AI, infra, deep tech and fintech/crypto. Coming from a computer science and robotics background, Han has been operating in engineering and product roles for years before GV. He loves deep science and engineering problems and enjoys working with founders from Day Zero.

“I am originally from China and I loved reading science fiction and stories of silicon valley when I was young. It motivated me to study computer science and robotics in the US and eventually move to silicon valley. As an immigrant, I learned valuable lessons from my family about optimism, perseverance and hard work. I started and worked on businesses serving the western and emerging markets. Observing technology’s success across the world led me to believe that democratizing access to information, technology, and financial services has a huge impact on society, and the path to the future is deeply rooted in the advancement of science, entrepreneurship and capitalism.”

Before joining GV, Han was an engineer and later a product manager on various teams at Google, including Payments, Blockchain and Next Billion Users (Google’s then-frontier-market group). He joined and co-founded startups on fintech, marketplace and crypto before Google. Han was also a prolific angel investor.

Han studied computer science at Fudan University (B.S.) and Carnegie Mellon University (M.S.).
