hi i'm allen.

i'm a guy that loves building and investing.

i started dropshipping and day trading when i was 15. and yes - i made a whopping $0. but somehow...

i still ended up at wharton. at school, i foundedmoso capital, a venture capital club where we work with the best investors from insight partners, menlo ventures, and general catalyst.

been working with startups ever since.

i'm currently founding growth atanara, an ai-native research workspace. i built our in-house creator team, which drove record company growth. i also help execute our influencer, reddit, campus, brand, paid ads, referrals, and other growth hacking initiatives (basically i touch all things growth).

within 5 months of joining, we added over $1.5m in arr, doubled our users to 3m, and received over 150m impressions on our socials.

i also work as a tech investor athof capital, a multi-stage technology investment firm with over $2.5b in aum. i supported our investment in revolut, a $45b neobank out of europe. if you're building something cool, reach out!

during my free time, i make content on myinstagramfor 15k+ people.

previously, i launched my own venture-backed startup. after a short-run, we shut the company down in order to focus on building something that truly mattered.

as a student at penn, the story wouldn't be complete if i didn't work in investment banking. so yes, i did work at bank of america in their real estate, gaming, and lodging group.

i try to write a bunch and you can read my workhere.

now, i'm trying to learn as much as i can.

feel free to reach out:allenyao@wharton.upenn.edu

cheers,
allen
