About

Jenny Lee is a Singaporean venture capitalist known as the "Iron Woman" of VC, who broke a secure government engineering career by borrowing S$300,000 to buy out her scholarship bond and move to Hong Kong to enter finance, then paid off that debt within a year. She joined GGV in 2005 and moved to Shanghai with "a suitcase full of renminbi" to build the firm's China investment platform from the ground up, becoming instrumental in creating GGV's US-China cross-border presence and helping build over 20 unicorns including Alibaba, Xiaomi, and Didi.
