Chien Kuo joins First Round as a mentor.

Congratulations to Chien Kuo, our Product & Technology Advisor, joining First Round as a mentor. Chien has been an invaluable beacon leading our mobile product and serverless infrastructure. His bedrock support to lift our FinTech growth is immense.

Chien graduated from National Taiwan University, Computer Science and Information Engineering in 2004 and received his MBA from NYU in 2015. Chien worked at IBM, American Express, PayUp, and Gust before founding his startup RetSKU, a business intelligence SaaS platform analyzing distribution, pricing, shelving, and merchandising — the four pillars of consumer products.

We look forward to learning more from Chien. Kudos to our proud Taiwanese New Yorker.
