Leo

Leo is a serial entrepreneur and former investor currently building Amen Ring, a Christian smart ring brand that has drawn nearly 200,000 pre-orders with a stripped-down NFC-only prototype costing less than overseas shipping . His path to hardware was indirect: he started at Hillhouse Capital, where he spent 2011–2018 as a VP and backed companies including Youzan, Zoom, and NIO , then joined Youzan itself as co-president and COO for a seven-year run driving commercialization and growth . He left to found Dealism, an AI agent company that raised a $15 million angel round co-led by Hillhouse and Hongshan , before turning to the ring project. The product's early traction, as one investor put it, came from "shockingly low-cost customer acquisition" rooted in what Leo frames as goodwill-building rather than growth hacking . His own pitch for the pivot leans heavily on personal narrative—he grew up partly in the U.S., dropped out of college at 18, and describes his grandmother's cancer remission after prayer in late 2022 as the moment he grasped "the weight of faith" .
