Wanmeng Zhang

I started my career as a strategy consultant for Bain & Co. Nordics & Australia, focusing on corporate strategy cases and our private equity consulting practice. Despite getting experience working with some of the largest private equity funds in Europe and US - from commercial due diligence and portfolio company strategy to value creation projects - I found I was not as hands-on or at the forefront of tech and innovation as I wanted to be. This led me to pursue an MBA at London Business School and fully immerse myself in the life of a founder by co-founding an EdTech business called Cuukin (a mobile app aiming to be the 'Duolingo' for those looking to learn to cook). I joined Moonfire with a desire to discover the colourful and fast-paced world of venture capital. Moonfire's focus on European early-stage startups and data-driven investment philosophy really resonated with me and my experience. I am hugely excited to meet the superstar startup founders we partner with across Europe and to help turn dreams into results!
