Episode 128: Talking Tech Flight and Austin with Kleiner Perkins Investor Haomiao Huang, PhD.
Today’s episode features Kleiner Perkins Investor Haomiao Huang, PhD.
With all the recent and continued media hype around tech flight to Austin (and Miami), we wanted to get on the ground perspective from Sand Hill Road. As a bonus, Haomiao grew up in Austin (he and Bingham Group CEO A.J. attended the same high school - Go Jags!).
Haomiao also discusses his path into the venture capital world, and thoughts on being a good investor.
