Charlie Cao is a founder and CEO with a decade of hands-on experience building product-focused software and leading teams, currently based in San Francisco. A top-ranked physics student from Wuhan University and a UC Berkeley recommendee in Quantum Mechanics, he combines rigorous analytical skills with practical execution—he launched Sowrun, a WeChat mini-program that matches authenticated Wuhan University student guides with campus visitors to preserve campus culture while monetizing student time. Comfortable moving from concept to deployment, he excels at stakeholder coordination and user-centered solutions that resolve real community tensions. His background in STEM writing (Cambridge) and near-perfect graduate performance at UC Berkeley highlight uncommon communication and academic polish for a founder-operator.
