Exploring the fluffy edge of AI
Founder. Mentor. Advocate.
Previously built the real-time AI startup ecosystem at Agora and led accelerator programs at Berkeley SkyDeck.
With deep roots across startups, AI, and design, Bing works at the intersection of emerging technology and human experience. A former founder herself, she understands the chaos — and the clarity-seeking — of zero-to-one. She supports early-stage teams through product framing, ecosystem strategy, developer adoption, and narrative positioning.
At Agora, she built and scaled the global real-time AI startup ecosystem — partnering with developers, founders, and VCs across continents to drive platform adoption and ecosystem growth. At Berkeley SkyDeck, she led accelerator programming, working closely with founders to help them navigate early traction, product-market fit, and venture growth.
She is also a certified LEGO® Serious Play® facilitator and a long-time advocate for founders and inclusive innovation.
Mapping the arc
Bing’s path has never been linear.
She began in industrial design — trained in both aesthetics and engineering — developing a way of thinking that bridges form and function, systems and emotion. Her early years in editorial storytelling and visual design grounded her in clarity, craft, and meaning-making.
A deep-dive feature on Google’s modular phone (Project Ara) became a turning point. Interviewing the creative minds behind it revealed a world she hadn’t yet explored: early-stage technology — where ideas are imagined before they fully exist.
That spark pulled her into startups and venture.
Her curiosity kept unfolding. She moved from storytelling about innovation to building it — supporting founders, shaping ecosystems, and eventually co-founding a company in real-time AI. There, she explored how intelligence can be embedded into live interactions and training experiences — not just as automation, but as something responsive and human-aware.
Working at the edge of AI and platform systems expanded her perspective: technology is infrastructure — but adoption is human.
Today, the threads connect naturally. Everything she builds sits at the crossroads she’s been circling all along:
Design and systems.
Infrastructure and emotion.
Developer platforms and human experience.
This space is her home base — a place to reflect on the arc of her work, share what she’s learning about AI and ecosystem building, and support early and underrepresented founders navigating their own beginnings.
