About

Wilson Kyi focuses on investing in AI mafias—tightly knit groups of top builders spinning out of leading AI companies and research labs—rather than backing individual founders, drawing from his experience observing elite operator networks like the Square mafia. He brings an operator-heavy background from scaling businesses at Square, DiDi, and CloudKitchens to help founders with early go-to-market strategies and business model experiments, while co-hosting Fish Sauce, a podcast highlighting Asian American founders and operators in tech.
