Approach
Where scientific and technical depth meet scalable markets. Five beliefs shape every decision we make — how we source, how we diligence, how we size, and how we stay with a company once we are in.
1
Execution over narrative
We underwrite what a company has actually built and shipped, not the story told around it.
2
Domain depth matters
Our partners have built, financed, and operated in the sectors we invest in, and diligence the science and the software directly.
3
Durable advantage
We look for defensibility that compounds — technical moats, data advantages, and hard-won distribution.
4
Capital as a scarce resource
A small number of decisions, sized deliberately, with reserves held for the companies that earn them.
5
Partnership beyond the check
We stay close to the companies we back, contributing judgment, networks, and operating experience over the long horizon.

David Hui Shao
PhD, MBA, CFA, CPA
General Partner
David Shao brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and sophisticated financial acumen to asset management and investment strategy, with over two decades of leadership at the intersection of transaction executions and global capital markets. As a Senior Biotech Analyst and Portfolio Manager at Kamunting Street Asset Management, he employed a multi-strategy approach—including pre-IPO, IPO, event-driven, M&A, debt, equity, and hybrid instruments—managing a $200 million portfolio of U.S. and European equities and convertible bonds, and generating proprietary investment ideas that enhanced fund performance. His analytical rigor was further refined at Mehta Partners, where he provided fundamental research across long/short equity, PIPEs, venture capital, and market-neutral strategies. This experience managing substantial public and private portfolios has given him a comprehensive understanding of risk-return dynamics across the business lifecycle.
This investment perspective has been integral to his corporate executive roles as CFO, CEO, and CBO, where he secured over $300 million through equity and debt offerings between 2012 and 2024 and played a leadership role in executing both Nasdaq and NYSE IPO listings. His ability to bridge technology, business, and finance enables him to structure complex transactions, evaluate licensing and partnership deals, and articulate compelling investment theses to sophisticated investors—positioning him as a uniquely valuable leader for any investment venture.
David Shao holds an MBA in Finance and Accounting from NYU Stern and a Ph.D. in Bioorganic Chemistry from UC San Diego, providing a multidisciplinary foundation across the physical sciences, life sciences, and quantitative finance. He is also a CFA charterholder and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA)—a rare trifecta that underscores his commitment to financial analysis, accounting rigor, and scientific integrity, enabling him to speak fluently the language of scientists, investors, and regulators alike.
