According to a New York Post profile, Lucy Guo learned to code when she was in second grade. While some parents may encourage their children to pursue what they love, this is not the case with Lucy Guo, whose parents are both electrical engineers. Her mother strongly advised her not to enter the tech industry, as it was difficult for women to succeed in this field.

But this did not stop the 27-year-old girl's passion for technology. Lucy Guo ended up studying computer science at Carnegie Mellon. But not long after, this girl dropped out of school to pursue the Thiel Scholarship, founded by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal. According to the doctoral student's website, this scholarship demon "gives US$100,000 to young people who want to build new things instead of sitting in a classroom".

Before co-founding Scale AI, she worked at Q&A site Quora and would become Snapchat's first female designer.

After Scale AI, she pursues other projects

Lucy Guo left Scale AI in 2018, the year she and Wang made Forbes' under-30 list. She still holds a six percent stake in the company.

In 2019, according to Forbes, she co-founded early stage venture firm Backend Capital. In April of this year, she launched the technology startup Moment. According to its website, Moment is backed by Antifund, a venture capital fund founded by Geoffrey Woo and Jake Paul.

Lucy Guo shares her experience of introducing her parents. In a video on TikTok, she said, "I had to get to my parents earlier than expected because I had to create a trust fund for them, the sooner the better."

She then shows a screenshot of herself telling her father that she likes both boys and girls. But the responses showed that her father was not satisfied with her decision to leave the country.

She likes to exercise

Strauss Zelnick may be touted as "America's Strongest CEO," but it looks like Guo could give the executive for money. She once shot a three-hour HIIT video on YouTube to show off her endurance.

In addition to this HIIT routine, she wrote in the video's description that she also runs 16-32 kilometers (10-20 miles) every day and does a HIIT or other strength workout before dinner. She exercises a total of 5.5 hours a day.

She is David Beckham 's neighbor

Lucy Guo owns a luxury apartment at the One Thousand Museum in Miami, Florida, believed to be worth her US$6.7 million.

According to the New York Post, Lucy Guo is David Beckham's neighbor. But when she took the elevator with the soccer star, she didn't recognize him. She only found out thanks to a friend of hers, who later said: "Oh my God, that's David Beckham".
