毛文超 / Mao Wenchao

Mao Wenchao / 毛文超 is presented in No.214 寻找同类：小红书、bilibili，以及五花八门的那些社区 | 中国互联网故事 26 as a cofounder of Xiaohongshu. The episode emphasizes his consulting, investment, and [[StanfordUniversity|Stanford]] MBA background as unusual for a Chinese internet founder profile more often associated with technical or grassroots origins.

The source links Mao to Xiaohongshu’s early outbound shopping-guide idea, its move from PDF and PC forum into app-based notes, and later strategic commitment to community after self-operated ecommerce growth stalled.
