What Jinshuo runs

Games and apps

The company

CEO of the entire thing. The money, the direction and keeping two founders on the same page every week.

The investor side

Startup experience plus a long term approach to investing. TuffLabs gets run with the same patience.

The story so far

Startups and investing came first for Jinshuo. The investing style is long term, patient, hold for years. TuffLabs gets run the same way.

Being CEO here means doing a bit of everything. Making the games, leading development, shaping the new apps and keeping the money in order.

It all happens on camera too. Wins, misses and lessons go on the feed, and that feed carried TuffLabs past 100K followers.

The focus now is shipping. Get TuffCut into people’s hands, grow the Roblox games and keep proving two people can move fast.

Follow the build.
