Yutong Zhang

Yutong Zhang is the co-founder of Moonshot AI and formerly a managing partner at GSR Ventures, where she backed Xiaohongshu — her signature case, after she and GSR founder Richard Lin invested in Mao Wenchao alone out of a 2013 Stanford student startup competition . Her earlier angel portfolio runs deep in AI: Recurrent AI's first angel round, plus stakes in DeePhi Tech, LiblibAI, GravityXR, and Infinigence AI . She left GSR in 2024 — a departure that, as 暗涌Waves framed it, crystallized her split with Allen Zhu, who abandoned large-model investing while she moved toward it . That split turned public in the "Kimi Yang Zhilin arbitration case": Zhu confirmed she was a Moonshot founder "from day one," but accused her of breaching fiduciary duty over 9 million undisclosed founding shares, demanding an apology or return of most of the stake . More recently, she appeared at a Tsinghua campus talk as Moonshot AI's Yutong Zhang, described as the "1%" exception under capital-and-compute determinism .
