Lan Jiang is a partner at Lux Capital. As a lifelong listener and strong believer in underdogs, she is drawn to scrappy, independently curious founders building at the frontiers of what’s possible. Her interests span computational analytics in biotech and healthcare, data and machine learning infrastructure, platform therapeutics, developer tooling, and applications of AI across industries — informed by over seven years of hands-on research spanning glioblastoma segmentation, nanocomposite fluid-flow simulation, Alzheimer’s drug therapies, and more.

She is a generalist at Lux, which has $7 billion under management, and has been first investors in category-defining companies across AI, automation, biotech, compute, defense, energy, infrastructure, robotics, and beyond — including Anduril, Applied Intuition, Auris, Chronosphere, Cognition, Eikon, Hugging Face, Impulse Space, Physical Intelligence, Runway, Sakana, and Together.  Lux has created and co-founded more than 20 de novo companies through Lux Labs, and multiple Lux investments have become lasting publicly traded companies and major divisions acquired by Amazon, Cisco, Databricks, J&J, Meta, Palo Alto Networks, and more.

Experiment is the mother of knowledge. –Madeleine L'Engle

Lan earned her BS in Computer Science from Stanford in two and a half years, graduating top of her class as Phi Beta Kappa. At Stanford, she co-directed TreeHacks, the university’s flagship hackathon, and served as Managing Partner of Dorm Room Fund, the original student-run venture fund, where she founded the Female Investors’ Track and led the Female Founders’ Track.
