# Chen Wang(王晨)
Hey! My name is Chen and …
**Abstract:**
I spent the first 10 years of my life in Tangshan, China - a city well known for a major earthquake in the '70s - before moving to a small town east of Vancouver. I went on to study electrical engineering at UBC, where my friend and I created a visual note-taking app that unexpectedly went viral online! We caught the attention of investors like YC and Daniel Gross, which led us to drop out and pursue it full-time. After a couple of years, we realized it wasn't something we wanted to pursue further, so we wrapped things up. Since then, I've jumped into other startups and misc projects, which I'll have to share with you sometime in the future :)
**Past projects:**
- nototo.app - all your notes, on one map - YC S20 - acquired
- homeroomwidget.com - audioroom on your homescreen - 100K users
- notion.so - built some audio things here
- jointapioca.com - audio social app for Asian Americans
- meetsteno.com - real time STT app for fast people who want to get *faster*
- dubbie.com - open source AI dubbing editor
**Prompts for self:**
- Think to live, not live to think
- Perception *is* reality
- Physiology dictates perception
- Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
