Top SchoolKevin Yang is a Venture Partner based in Boston with seven years of experience at the intersection of technology research and early-stage investing, focused on discovering and supporting exceptional founders. He brings hands-on technical chops from an MIT CSAIL research internship where he built 360° NeRF pipelines for a searchable, localizable representation of Cambridge—demonstrating expertise in data collection, filtering, and novel applications of 360 cameras to neural rendering. At Contrary he leverages that technical background to source talent-driven opportunities and evaluate deep technical teams from seed to scale.
