Johnnie Yu (俞润中)

Hi, I’m Johnnie Yu, a twenty-something year old consumer investor and self-proclaimed brand nerd and futurist, currently living and working in New York City. I invest at Listen by day and sometimes make things by night.

My (investing-related) interests are in brands that operate at the intersection of consumer and culture, especially ones that participate in category creation and operate in the counter-culture. I also run a web development + design agency specializing in AI, and mentor brands through NYU and Techstars.

Outside of investing, you can find my alter ego in my home studio. I print in my darkroom (read: repurposed bathroom) and sometimes draw and screen print. I love photographing friends and collaborating with emerging artists and fashion brands. I also enjoy cooking and hosting dinner parties with friends.
