Colossus has released an in-depth profile on Jeff Yan, the founder of Hyperliquid, revealing numerous previously undisclosed details about his life. Jeff, whose parents were Chinese immigrants, was raised by his mother after his parents divorced when he was in third grade. His mother, an accountant, often worked overtime during tax season and frequently reminded him that there are always people better than oneself. In ninth grade, Jeff participated in the U.S. Math Olympiad training camp but did not make the national team. He then discovered Feynman's lectures through advanced physics textbooks and watched them avidly. Jeff went on to win a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad and received a full scholarship to Harvard.
