Hey! 👋
My name is Andrew Yeung.I’m an entrepreneur, investor, startup advisor, and events host.My life's mission is to create more spaces for curious and ambitious people to meet.
MY STORYAfter living in China for 20 years, I moved to America to work for Facebook. Shortly after, I went to Google to build products, and within a year, I left to throw "tech" parties. Along the way I invested in over 20 startups.I never imagined this could be a real job.Over 50,000 CEOs, investors, and tech professionals across eight cities have attended my events, and we’ve been sponsored by institutions like Fidelity, J.P. Morgan, Perplexity, American Express, Notion, Rippling, Hubspot, and 100+ others.Business Insider dubbed me the "Gatsby of Silicon Alley" (I've never read the book), and I've been featured on Fast Company, Bloomberg, Fortune Magazine, Morning Brew, Forbes, Axios, Reuters, and AdAge.I'm also a partner at Next Wave NYC, a venture capital fund. I like to invest in software companies that improve the way we live, work, and connect with other humans.Beyond, I write a personal blog, and for Business Insider, and have spoken about tech careers, community, and entrepreneurship at Princeton University, Columbia Business School, SXSW, AdWeek, and Jason Calacanis' "This Week in Startups" podcast.
