Eugene Zhang

Founding Partner, TSVC

About

Eugene Zhang is a founding partner at TSVC who requires all founders to be full-time (not advisors) and uses an unusual "team, team, team; market; product/tech" framework where team quality is weighted three times more heavily than other factors. At TSVC, all partners including Zhang participate in economics based on the same contribution formula rather than seniority, and the firm has backed overlooked founders like Zoom's Eric Yuan at seed stage when other VCs passed.
