Ben Wong
Modern Renaissance (Hu)man
My superpower is decoding people and ideas.
I'm currently building something new. I also advise early-stage AI startups across verticals and partner with high-potential founders. I've previously worked as a founding Chief of Staff at an AI insurtech startup, in psychometrics at hedge fund, D. E. Shaw & Co., and conducted applied molecular biology research at Vanderbilt, University of Washington, & Mount Sinai. I also co-founded a Hult Prize Global Top 30 social enterprise in 2020.
When I have spare time, I study typography, codify family recipes, and try to keep up with what's going on in biotech. I also co-lead a bookclub in NYC—we hit our 2-year anniversary in September 2025 and club favorites include Yellowface, Stoner, and The Silent Patient.
