The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Songyee Yoon, Founder and Managing Partner of Principal Venture Partners, reads as The Visionary because her thesis rests on futures most practitioners cannot yet see, let alone price. She treats gaming as a civilisational lens rather than an entertainment vertical, and she backs AI-native founders building businesses she openly admits she does not yet comprehend. That pairing of epistemic humility with bold capital deployment marks a leader who allocates against imagination, not precedent.
“We'd like to back companies who are fully embracing the technology of today and tomorrow, led by founders who understand the technology and limitations of it and able to come up with org design that reflect the importance of this.”
“Gaming industry is like having a lens into the future, because a lot of the technology and innovation happens in gaming first, and it gives us a sense of is this type of technology adoptable and will consumers accept this type of application.”
“I'm really excited about AI native generations and creativity and what they're going to build on top of this. There will be new type of businesses that we don't comprehend today that will be enabled by this infrastructure.”
