Zhang Zhen is known for his deep, long-term partnership with Pinduoduo's founding team from the company's earliest days, helping build it into one of China's most important consumer internet platforms in what became his signature investment case. He co-founded Gaorong Capital in 2014 after rising to partner at IDG Capital, where he served on the investment decision committee and helped shape firm-wide investment decisions before spinning out with other top partners to create a more founder-aligned platform.
