Philip Meng

About

I study EE and ML at Stanford, with a minor in history.

Most recently I co-founded Shepherd (YC S26), working on making hardware legible to AI. Before that I was school co-president at Phillips Academy Andover.

I’m also a venture partner at 645 Ventures, did ML research at Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute, and NLP research at Dartmouth.

I grew up in Hong Kong and Massachusetts. Huge fan of Dominic Fike, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Scent of a Woman.
