‘Genius Girl’ goes from inspiring a Korean TV show character to raising a $100 million AI fund
On the weekend, Songyee Yoon was rushing across her South Korean campus, while most students were stumbling back from the bars. Around dinner time, she would run some programs on her college’s supercomputer and then wait sleepless in her dorm.
I woke up at like 2 am, 3 am to walk down the campus because I was so curious to see the result
She was such an oddity on campus that a writer used her as the character for a Korean TV show. But Yoon’s real achievement is inspiring her own success story – raising a whopping $100 million AI fund.
Yoon, who founded the venture capital firm with a focus on early-stage investments in the artificial intelligence sector, said she has no concerns about missing the boat by not investing in companies like OpenAI or Anthropic.
