A chance encounter with one of venture capital’s top figures helped propel 11.2 Capital founder Shelley Zhuang into a career a startup investing career.

 

A computer science PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, Zhuang grew up with a father who was a professor in the same field; academia was a logical career route. But attending classes at the Haas School of Business, she was moved by a talk given by Midas List billionaire Doug Leone of Sequoia. “I just went up to him afterwards and said, how do I get into this VC thing?” remembers Zhuang. “And he basically said, ‘apply to as many positions as possible.’ So yeah, I did that.”
