Ann Miura-Ko

Ann Miura-Ko is a co-founding partner of Floodgate, co-directs the Mayfield Fellows Program, and teaches MS&E 275, a course on the craft of founding in the School of Engineering. Her current investing thesis centers on what she calls the “AI-pilled organization,” companies where AI is the operational substrate from which the entire business is rebuilt. She writes and speaks on what this shift means for the structure of startups, the compression of roles like product management and engineering, and the next generation of category-defining companies. She earned her PhD at Stanford University, where her research centered on mathematical modeling of computer security. She also holds an undergraduate degree from Yale University.
