Introducing Geoffrey Woo
Geoffrey Woo is an entrepreneur and investor. He co-founded Anti Fund (antifund.com), a venture capital firm, with pro boxer and internet superstar Jake Paul. He also co-founded W (getw.com), Ketone-IQ (ketone.com), Archive (archive.com) and is founding partner/board director for Betr. He has co-authored a number of US patents and peer-reviewed science papers. He earned a BS with Honors and Distinction in Computer Science from Stanford University.
I’m an entrepreneur and investor, and think about compounding technologies, systems, and organizations. I studied Computer Science (Information Theory and Distributed Systems) at Stanford University and graduated with honors and distinction.
I am interested in the science of human performance and nutrition and founded Ketone-IQ. Extending longevity while improving day-to-day performance is the ultimate personal compounder. To change and master our environment, let’s start with changing and mastering ourselves.
I am interested in software & technologies that enhance leverage for human creativity and output. In particular, I think a lot about software automation and founded Archive, where we apply these technologies to social, community, and e-commerce.
I am interested in high-performing organizations. Organizations are fundamental units that scale the individual, and the best organizations have special cultures, practices, and assessment & selection. I practice as a business founder, first and foremost, and secondarily, as an investor through my venture capital firm Anti Fund.
Ultimately, I’m interested in performance — at the individual scale, the team scale, the organization scale, and at the civilizational scale.
There’s a lot of signal and noise in our world. This website is my attempt to digest it all.
