Allen Yao

I'm currently a technology growth investor at HOF Capital. We are a multi-stage technology investment firm with over $10 billion in AUM. A few of my select investments include: Anthropic, Crusoe, Neuralink, SpaceX and xAI.

Previously, I led growth at two YC companies, created content for over 15k followers and founded the largest Penn venture club. On the finance side, I spent a summer working in investment banking at Bank of America in their REGL group.

I graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania with concentrations in Finance and Management.

I'm fascinated by the intersection of technology, media and markets. I write weekly short essays on Residual Thoughts. Find my daily charts on X.

Feel free to reach out if you think we should get to know each other :)
