Yuan Gong

Yuan Gong is a venture capitalist who became a partner at Sequoia China (HSG) in early 2024 after receiving a call from Neil Shen on Chinese New Year's Eve . She previously worked at China Growth Capital, where she was already building ties with tech circles back in 2018 while the VC industry was still absorbed in the sharing-economy wave . At Sequoia, she launched HongshanX, an initiative that publishes research and incubates scientists . She describes her own career pattern as "starting a new table" rather than extending existing ones — a phrase she uses to capture her tendency to move toward fresh, unconventional directions .
