Andy McLoughlin #56 Managing partner, Uncork Capital Yahoo’s success cemented Jerry Yang’s status as a tech-industry icon, and he hasn’t slowed down since he resigned as the search giant’s chief executive in 2012. That year, he founded a venture firm called AME Cloud Ventures to support entrepreneurs from day one to growth stage. And he’s been reaping successful startups ever since. For instance, Yang made an early bet on Gusto, which snagged a $10 billion valuation in August. “My role as investor is to coach, guide, and mentor, this is where I add the most value,” Yang said. “It also sometimes means stepping back and letting the founders make their own decisions. It’s a delicate balance as an investor — you want the best outcome for everyone.” Yang sits on the boards of Workday, Alibaba, and Lenovo, and he’s also a philanthropist. Source: businessInsider
