Garage Technology Ventures adds two partners
Garage Technology Ventures, a Palo Alto, Calif. venture capital firm, has added Joyce Chung and Henry Wong as investors.
Joyce Chung (pictured here) joins Garage as managing director, while Henry Wong joins as venture partner, a position that doesn’t carry as much responsibility as a managing director.
Joyce Chung co-founded Cardinal Venture Capital in 2000, and invested in Chipcon (acquired by Texas Instruments), Live Capital, Mobilygen, Valista and Zilliant. Prior to Cardinal, Joyce was a Director at Adobe Ventures, a corporate venture fund, and she held managerial positions at Adobe Systems and Sony Corporation, where she was involved in digital media. She has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.B.A. from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
Henry Wong has advised Garage since 2002, while also running a China-focused fund, Diamond TechVentures. He has also been a venture partner at Crystal Ventures, where he worked with companies like SMIC, LGC Wireless, Infinera and Exavio. During his career in the networking and communications industry, Henry was CEO and founder of SS8 Networks.
