About ‘Metaverse Research’
‘Metaverse Research’ is a metaverse research newsletter started as an independent study initiated by Andrea Chang and Jane Lu as part of their Berkeley Haas MBA program.
Our subscribers span across investors, entrepreneurs, product managers, consultants, and MBA students in both startup ecosystem and Fortune global 500 companies.
About Us
We came from two different background — Web2 vs. Web3/ Meta vs. crypto, but we were both fascinated by the potential of metaverse and realized over time the tech requires both worlds’ innovation. That’s why we have this blog sharing the insights with dynamic views.
Andrea Chang is a Partner at NGC Ventures, which is one of the first and largest institutional investor in crypto since 2018 and Web3.0 metaverse-focused fund since 2021. She has 5+ years of experience in Crypto investment and Web 3.0 technologies. She is also the advisor of several gaming and metaverse startups in Web3. Before crypto, she was at Goldman Sachs global investment research in Singapore and a technology VC.
Jane Lu has 6+ years of experience in Web 2.0 technologies, tech supply chain, user experience, and strategy. She has worked for companies such as McKinsey, Meta, and Dell. She likes to hang out with people on Metaverse — she spent most of her leisure time playing paintball with kids on Rec Room and going to comedy clubs on Horizon Worlds.
Our faculty sponsor of the study is Ned Augenblick, and our research advisor is Tommaso Di Bartolo.
