Hi, I'm Amy!

I'm a startup-obsessed builder and investor based between Philly and SF, currently studying computer science at Penn.

I love building and backing early ideas. I previously spent time investing at Plug and Play, TSVC, and Picus Capital, where I got to work closely with early-stage founders across AI, consumer, commerce, and emerging technology. Along the way, I caught the building bug too, co-founding CotonAI and helping build Tokker from the ground up. Before startups and venture, I spent time in investment banking at Moelis and private equity at Ardian.

I’ve also been very lucky to watch a few companies grow up close from their earliest days, including Nea, Aron, Watney Robotics, Foresight Health, and Haize Labs — and see their journeys from seed-stage experiments into companies backed by firms like Neo and General Catalyst.

More recently, I've been going deep on AI-native companies, multi-agent systems, world models, and what happens when software starts taking on entire workflows — and eventually, entire organizations.

For fun, I love grabbing matcha lattes, going for rooftop photography, hunting for good coffee. I love making new friends, please introduce yourself! Reach me at amyzhuang880@gmail.com
