Yusen Dai
戴雨森
Yusen Dai is a partner at ZhenFund, where he became the firm's youngest partner in early 2022. He has been an active investor in AI, notably backing Moonshot AI, and was described by 暗涌Waves as having been deeply moved by Wang Huiwen's "vision and ambition" when Wang set out to build a "Chinese OpenAI" in 2023. In a 2024 podcast, Dai was grouped among the "young talent" camp of Chinese investors alongside figures like Monolith's Cao Xi and Gaorong's Han Rui. His public stances include a clear skepticism toward general-purpose humanoid robots, which he has argued are premature, and a conviction that major technological waves are typically driven by young founders — a philosophy that shaped ZhenFund's early bet on Yang Zhilin and Moonshot AI.
