Yutong Zhang

Yutong Zhang is a founder of Moonshot AI and a former managing partner at GSR Ventures, where she was known for investments in Xiaohongshu, DeePhi Tech, and Recurrent AI . At GSR she was the first angel investor in Recurrent AI and served as its board representative, while also acting as a key behind-the-scenes facilitator in Moonshot's major Alibaba financing round . Her departure from GSR was confirmed in April 2024, with Zhang describing a transitional period of advisory and post-investment support at the fund . She subsequently became a central figure in the dispute between GSR's Allen Zhu and Moonshot founder Yang Zhilin — Zhu publicly accused her of breaching fiduciary duty and failing to disclose her holdings, calling the 9 million initial free shares she held in Moonshot "completely illegal gains," while Zhang maintained the shares had been hers from day one as a founder . Within Moonshot she operates under the alias "Aether," the name of a protagonist from the game Genshin Impact .
