Her Story

A human-centric entrepreneur

Annie Wenmiao Yu is an Oxford alumna and Forbes Under 30 technology honouree who built her career at the intersection of deep tech and human stories. As co-founder of Quantum Dice, she helped pioneer quantum random number generation — before turning her lens to the questions that ambitious, mobile young people are rarely asked out loud.

A third culture kid who had lived in four countries by age ten, Annie created Low to Grow to explore the intersections of identity, career, and mental health for people who have always navigated between worlds.

Her guests span Forbes Under 30 entrepreneurs, award-winning authors, journalists, and engineers — and one thread runs through every conversation: migration. Whether in their own lives or their parents', almost every guest has crossed a border that changed them.
