Will Wang Tianfan / 汪天凡
Will Wang Tianfan is the [[BAICapital|B.A.I Capital]] partner interviewed in 「热爱一个行业15年的理由是什么？」｜对谈汪天凡：我要投真正的快乐、投最纯的愿景、投人性的光辉【公路播客】. The source presents him as a long-cycle venture investor who entered B.A.I as an intern in 2011 and uses roughly 15 years of market cycles to explain how VC judgment moves from coverage to belief formation.
His AI investment thesis centers on Wisdom Over Intelligence / 智慧稀缺论: as model intelligence becomes abundant, useful products must understand user context, provide feedback, help reflection, and preserve human agency. That leads him toward [[AIContextMachine|context machines]], [[WearableAIAssistant|wearable AI assistants]], offline social products, and consumer AI experiences that create joy rather than only productivity.
The source also makes Wang a practical AI-workflow case. He describes using detailed prompt templates for pre-meeting research, community and product scans, due diligence, transcript synthesis, and portfolio tracking, but keeps final judgment in human values, founder assessment, and market belief.
Key Claims
- Venture investing matures through cycles, feedback, and trust rather than only deal volume.
- AI investors need both high-level beliefs and hands-on product/model testing before market consensus forms.
- Useful AI products should help users turn intelligence into wisdom through context, reflection, feedback, and care.
- Early AI company evaluation should focus on competitiveness, founder vision, and [[ThreeNonVentureTheory|non-consensus, discontinuous, nonlinear]] opportunities more than mature moat language.
