Since then, he has lived in New York City, Southern California, and the Bay Area.
With no language skills or money, Fan struggled to find part-time work.
During his tenure at the college, Fan met his Ph.D. advisor, Shuki Bruck.
Fan worked on various other projects and tech companies before landing on MemVerge.
He launched the company alongside Bruck and another business partner, Yue Li.
That changed in April 2017 when Intel deployed a new storage unit with the semiconductor Fan was waiting on.
“So, we decided to pull the trigger and start MemVerge.”
The company has raised $93.5 million in venture capital.
I had to really work on effective ways of communicating to the team."
Hopefully, we’ll play a little part indirectly to help people live longer and laugh more."
