Creator & Entrepreneur · New York

Own your life.

I'm Amy Wang. Caltech engineer, then management consultant, then founder. I left the expected path to build a media company that now reaches 890,000+ subscribers, and I make content that helps ambitious people build lives they own. These days I'm also Head of Creator Adoption at Stan, teaching creators the systems I built for myself.

About

How I got here

My grandfather was a farmer in rural China. Education changed my family's life, so I chased it as far as it could take me: chemical engineering at Caltech, then management consulting in Los Angeles.

On paper I had made it. But the life I was building didn't feel like mine. So I started posting videos about the mindset that carried my family this far, and kept going until the side project became the company.

Today I run AW Ventures, the media business behind my channels. More than 890,000 people subscribe, most of them ambitious people deciding what their own path looks like. Everything I make comes back to one idea: your career, your money, and your time, built on your terms.

Work

What I've built

Two YouTube channels, a podcast, a newsletter, an AI coaching app, and a small team that runs it all with me.

Built from scratch, on my own terms

I filmed, edited, and posted until the numbers came, then built the team and systems so the business runs lean. That process, and what it teaches about betting on yourself, is what I share on stage and on camera.

Brand partnerships

I partner with brands my audience already trusts, across YouTube, Instagram, and the newsletter. Tell me about your campaign and I'll send over audience details and formats.
