About

I'm Shen Nan (Shane) — I design and build operating systems for startups, funds, and accelerators. I shape what should exist, then build the system that makes the work run.

I've sat on both sides of the table — as a startup CTO building under pressure and as a venture engineer evaluating hundreds of startups and building internal fund infrastructure. Previously the sole engineer at Iterative, an early-stage VC fund with 70+ portfolio companies across Southeast Asia, where I built the fund's entire technical backbone. Before that, I co-founded ZOLO (Antler-backed) as CTO.
