Summary
Huai Wang (Harry) is a founder-operator and investor who built and now leads Linear Capital, managing multi-fund portfolios that have backed 70+ tech startups across China and greater Asia with $1–2B AUM and focused early-stage checks. A former Facebook engineering manager who led risk and payments teams, he combines deep product and systems engineering experience with hands-on venture sourcing and company-building. Harry has led investments in notable AI and data companies like Horizon Robotics and Rokid, and has advised fast-growing consumer platforms such as Dianping and Baixing. He holds graduate degrees from Stanford and Ohio State and a CS bachelor's from Zhejiang University, and is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and Aspen network fellow. Author of the popular 2013 book "How Facebook was engineered" and inventor on a social-economy patent, he mixes operator grit (“let’s get it done”) with rigorous technical judgment. An unusually engineering-first investor, he still spends regular time advising product and engineering teams at portfolio companies.
