About this event
Li Jin has lived and worked in the Bay Area for the past 6 years. Currently, she is an investment partner at Andreessen Horowitz focusing on consumer startups. In particular, she's interested in marketplaces and technology that enables people to become entrepreneurs and to earn money through differentiated skills (the Passion Economy).
Previously, she was a Product Manager at Shopkick, a VC-backed startup in the loyalty & rewards space that was acquired by SK Telecom in 2014 for $250M. Before tech, she lived in NYC and worked in corporate strategy at Capital One. She studied statistics at Harvard where she wrote for The Harvard Crimson and almost became a journalist.
