About

Cyan spends her time dreaming about what could be and backing the bold founders who are already building it. Prior to joining Long Journey, Cyan was a Partner at Founders Fund. Her investment portfolio spans everything from rocket ships to sandwich delivery, with a particular knack for identifying companies that create jobs, empower individuals, and offer new forms of flexibility in how we live and work.
