Dyllan Liu
I cofounded Vectro Ventures, where I write pre-seed and seed checks for the most ambitious technical founders in the world.
My name is Dyllan. Previously I founded RankAI, the world's first autonomous marketing agent, currently running GTM for 350+ businesses. We're backed by Y Combinator and the creator of Transformers. I've stepped down from the CEO role while the team continues crushing it.
Before RankAI, I did my undergrad at UC Berkeley. After that, I wrote code at Amazon Robotics and worked on technology M&A at McKinsey.
Away from work you'll find me skiing, playing tennis, or practicing a little magic :)
