Paul Yeh, a first-generation immigrant from Taiwan, sees the immigrant experience itself as training for entrepreneurship, and he brings an unusually hands-on background to venture investing, having worked in banking, product, operations, and strategy at companies like Ford, McKinsey, Tesla, and Fisker, where he worked directly with Fisker's top executives on global manufacturing and supply deals. His investing focus, both at Kleiner Perkins and through board roles at companies ranging from Ambiq and Amprius to Beyond Meat and DJI, centers on hard, real-world technology and sustainability rather than typical software startups, and he's often described as someone who shares practical lessons from his operating experience rather than just providing capital.
