Ren is a General Partner on the investment team at Electric Capital.

Ren is deeply technical and joined Electric as a software engineer. He co-created Codeslaw, the open search smart contract tool used by hundreds of security researchers in crypto. He co-authored a paper analyzing the game theory of Bitcoin consensus mechanism, its dynamics during consensus changes, and continues to contribute to "Bitcoin Consensus Analysis Project." He developed Smart Contract Genealogy Analysis with methods to detect novel logic in deployed smart contracts by fingerprinting control flow graphs used in Electric Capital's Developer Report to study contract evolution across EVM chains. He has built internal systems for monitoring liquidity and developer activity across ecosystems.

Ren's career began as a Quantitative Researcher at Citadel where he built infrastructure from the ground up for oil and natural gas markets, incorporating information at the deepest level of granularity to drive market decisions. This experience gave him deep intuition for liquidity, volatility, and system design. He brings that expertise to crypto, where on-chain markets are evolving faster than any prior financial system.
