David Yin Partner

David Yin is a Partner at Informed Ventures, where he backs bold founders using AI and new technologies to reimagine financial services. He looks for startups that aren’t just iterating but fundamentally reshaping how money moves, markets operate, and users access financial tools.

David began his journey as a tech journalist at Forbes and startup consultant at McKinsey, where he advised founders on growth and helped build ventures that have since scaled to millions of users. He was then head of strategy at an AI-powered fintech unicorn, where he led market expansions, forged strategic partnerships and joint ventures, and helped drive the company to nine-figure revenues.

Having experienced firsthand the challenges and exhilaration of going from 1 to 100, he wants to work hand-in-hand with visionary entrepreneurs to achieve breakout growth and build transformational companies. Drawing on his fintech expertise and global network, he helps founders refine their product roadmaps and go-to-market strategies, turning ambitious ideas into market-defining businesses.

Beyond investing, David loves bringing together thoughtful people to discuss big ideas, and has built several communities around this. A global citizen who has lived and worked in 12 cities, he’s always up for discovering a new place—especially through its food.
