Wistron Chair pledges 1 million GPU hours to power Taiwan’s AI startups
Simon Lin, Chairman of Wistron Corporation, offered a candid look at the tech giant’s bumpy journey into venture capital during a keynote speech at Taiwan’s Venture Capital Summit on August 12, 2024. Admitting that Wistron’s internal venture arm struggled for three years due to mismatched expectations between corporate executives and startup founders, Lin said the company eventually gave the venture capital unit full autonomy — a shift that has since paid off.
