Charlie Feng

Hi, I'm Charlie. I work in technology and spend most of my time between San Francisco and Toronto.

I'm currently building Runner, a desktop AI assistant that does work across your apps instead of just suggesting what to do. I'm also a Partner at Fjor Ventures, a seed and pre-seed fund backing outlier founders in AI, enterprise software, and fintech.

Previously, I cofounded Agora, Clearco, and Hemingly. At Clearco, I held seven titles in five years — first Head of Product, then Marketing, Growth, Finance, Strategy, Business Operations, and New Ventures — helping deploy over $3B to 5,000+ ecommerce businesses using Shopify and Stripe data instead of traditional credit scores.

I advise and angel invest in startups, mostly around new product development, fintech, AI/ML, and credit/risk. Avid gamer. McGill grad.
