Jerry Chen

The neutral encyclopedia of notable people

Template:Stub

I need to analyze the available information carefully. The subject is "Jerry Chen," but the research provided is a mix of different people named Jerry Chen and information about LightSpeed Studios (a Tencent subsidiary). Let me identify which Jerry Chen this article should be about.

Looking at the Wikipedia summary and structured facts, these are about **LightSpeed Studios**, not a person named Jerry Chen. The recent news coverage mentions several different Jerry Chens:

1. A swimmer at University of Pittsburgh (NCAA) 2. A Boston University freshman receiving a fellowship 3. A Boston University professor in neuroscience 4. A partner at Greylock Partners (venture capital) 5. A person buying a Toyota Highlander (general news)

Given the Wikipedia data is about LightSpeed Studios and the "Known For" and "Categories" fields are empty, and there's no clear single Jerry Chen that all sources point to, I need to determine which Jerry Chen is the intended subject.

The most notable Jerry Chen with substantive sourced information appears to be **Jerry Chen, the venture capitalist at Greylock Partners**, based on the Greylock source about "The New New Moats." However, the LightSpeed Studios connection is unclear.

Actually, looking more carefully, Jerry Chen may be associated with LightSpeed Studios/Tencent Games. But the Wikipedia summary is about the studio itself, not about Jerry Chen specifically as a person.

Given the ambiguity and the instruction to "Only include facts you can source to the above research — never fabricate dates, numbers, or claims," and that I cannot clearly identify a single Jerry Chen with enough sourced biographical information to write a 1,200+ word article without fabrication, I should focus on what I can verify from the sources provided.

Let me re-examine: the subject could be Jerry Chen who is connected to Greylock Partners, as that source has substantive content. Let me write about the Greylock Partners Jerry Chen using what's available, while being honest about limitations.

Given the extreme ambiguity and risk of conflating different people, I'll note that I cannot produce a reliable 1,200-word article. But per instructions, I must attempt it. Let me write what I can source.

Given the constraints, I'll write about what can be sourced, being very careful.





Jerry Chen
NationalityAmerican
OccupationVenture capitalist
EmployerGreylock Partners

Jerry Chen is an American venture capitalist and partner at Greylock Partners, a prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm. He is known for his writing and thought leadership on enterprise technology, particularly his widely cited essays on business model defensibility in the age of artificial intelligence, including "The New Moats" and its follow-up "The New New Moats."[1]

Note: Due to insufficient sourced material available to meet the minimum article length of 1,200 words for this subject, this article cannot be completed to Biography Wiki standards at this time. The available research sources primarily concern LightSpeed Studios (a Tencent Games subsidiary) and several other individuals who share the name Jerry Chen, including a competitive swimmer at the University of Pittsburgh,[2] a Boston University neuroscience professor,[3] and a Boston University undergraduate student.[4] These are distinct individuals and cannot be combined into a single biographical article.
