Wen Hsieh

Partner, Kleiner Perkins

About

Wen Hsieh is one of the rare venture investors who rose from associate to Managing Partner at Kleiner Perkins, bringing dual Caltech PhDs and semiconductor operating experience that gives him unusually deep technical pattern recognition for complex hardware investments. He grew up in the Amazon jungle before moving through Brazil, China, and the U.S., and explicitly connects that unconventional childhood to his appetite for frontier technology bets and original thinking developed during solitary time.
