Chian Gong

I'm a builder, investor, and advisor based in San Francisco.

Most recently I was a General Partner at Reach Capital, where I spent nearly a decade investing in early-stage education companies and helped grow Reach from $50M to over $500M in AUM. These days I'm building Hazelnote, a self-organizing notes app, and Storylens, a Chinese storybook companion for ABC parents.

I love learning and making useful things. Before all of this I studied bioengineering at UC Berkeley and got my MBA and MPA at Wharton and Harvard Kennedy School. When I'm not at my desk I'm usually climbing or eating my way through San Francisco.
