About Wen Zhang

Growing up in a small town, isolated by mountains in southeast China, I was always curious to see the outside world. Inspired by a library visit, I started teaching myself English using a cassette machine. Four years (and 9 failures) later, the University of Illinois Urbana - Champaign became my first stop. A decade later, after two Master\'s degrees, with success (and failures) in both the startup and corporate world, my curiosity remains the same. I am living my American Dream every day and am eager to explore the world in a bigger way. Today, we are passionate about helping entrepreneurs craft their compelling business pitches to get YES, whether it is from investors or customers, in order to grow and scale their business globally.
