About James Tieng

James Tieng invests across the full range of education, from early learning to workforce training, judging companies on whether they improve outcomes, expand access, and close equity gaps, with a particular interest in apprenticeships and tools like Transfr VR that let people try out careers before committing to them. His approach is shaped by his family's own path from Bohol in the Philippines to graduate school in the U.S., his faith, and his experience serving on school boards and consulting for a charter school in New Orleans, and he says being a father keeps him focused on whether he'd actually want his own child using the products he backs.
