Ted Chai
San Francisco, CA
I’m currently living in San Francisco and working as Chief of Staff at Recall.ai.

Previously, I founded Sonnet (YC S22, acquired 2024) and worked on emerging technology analysis at the U.S. Department of State. I very briefly spent time on the strategy team at Uber and as a student at UC Berkeley before starting my company.

My interests include:

International Relations. Primarily US-China relations.
Early Stage Investing. Occasionally, as a Venture Partner at Pioneer Fund.
Statecraft. How do we build a prosperous nation?
Startups. How are great companies built?
Defense Technology. Progress which will prevent and win the next war.
Human Relationships. The future of collaboration and community.

On weekends, I spend my time triathlon training, bringing friends together over dinner parties, writing in cafes, and searching for beautiful new places to explore.
