As Founder and CEO of Robyn AI, Dr. Jenny Shao is building the emotional operating system for every human—an AI-powered companion designed to empower emotional connection at scale. Headquartered in San Francisco, Robyn is already loved by users on 6 continents ahead of launch and backed by iconic investors including M13, who led their recent seed round, Lars Rasmussen, Bill Tai, and Ken Goldman (former CFO of Yahoo). A Harvard-trained physician and former surgeon, Jenny left medicine after witnessing a deeper epidemic in her patients—disconnection. She built Robyn to be the antidote: a deeply human AI that listens, remembers, and evolves with you. Her work sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence, cutting-edge tech, and culture—blending clinical empathy with product obsession to create something that doesn’t just function, but feels. Since founding Robyn just 12 months ago, Jenny has assembled an elite, multidisciplinary team of engineers, creatives, and operators on a singular, relentless mission: to build the emotional infrastructure of the internet and empower the world to connect—deeply, authentically, and at scale. What began as a radical idea is now a fast-growing movement, backed by iconic investors and grounded in one belief: emotional intelligence is the next frontier of technology.
