Before co-founding Pan-Lin Capital, 谭惠东 spent 20 years working in public-market investing across trust, brokerage, and futures firms like Everbright International Trust, Everbright Securities, and Capital Futures, which gives him a broader capital-markets background than most venture investors. He also stays closely involved after making an investment—he handled on-site investment management at Kaipu Biotech and serves as a director at Yinshi (Shanghai) Technology, showing he takes an active role in company governance rather than just picking deals.
