Changsheng Yao
姚昌晟
Changsheng Yao is the founder and CEO of Hyde Hydrogen Energy (海德氢能), a green hydrogen startup . A Tsinghua PhD, he has spent much of his recent years traveling relentlessly to build the company — sleeping in airport terminals and walking deserts to pitch clients, as described in a late-2025 ZhenFund profile that portrayed him carrying company brochures and business cards in a worn bag, animated by the entrepreneurial spirit of China's reform era . Under his leadership, Hyde Hydrogen Energy secured Saudi Aramco's first investment in Asia-Pacific hydrogen, and Yao was invited to speak at COP29 in Baku in November 2024 and at Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative summit in late 2025 .
