Addison Leong invests at DCM while still building things himself, with a background as a software engineer, product manager, and designer, plus a Stanford degree in Symbolic Systems that fits his focus on AI and deep tech. Before DCM, he helped design and teach Pear VC's PearX program and built internal software that drove over $66M in seed funding, and outside of work he writes about 3D modeling and makes music, art, and even latte art, giving him an unusually hands-on and creative edge among investors.
