Associate Gina MoonI was raised in South Korea but had to spend a couple years in China while growing up. Thrown into an environment in which speaking in my native language was not an option, I learned to adapt and developed an appreciation for communication. Little did I know that everything in venture boils down to a story.After graduating with degrees in Business and Chinese from Hanyang University, I started trading commodities at SK Networks. Although my experience in trading allowed me to build a strong understanding of valuable frameworks like game theory, I wanted to pursue a career in venture because I value investing with a long-term mindset. This led me to my current role at Hico.What is your professional background?Can you share a little about yourself?I enjoy researching markets and value the opportunity to partner with entrepreneurs through their ups and downs. What excites you most about venture?What is one thing founders should know about you?I will relentlessly support you in company-building. I love learning new languages, boxing, hiking, and running.What are your hobbies?What is one fun fact about you? I have a YouTube channel documenting my life in Silicon Valley!How can I get in touch with you?Please feel free to reach out to me over LinkedIn
