About HYSTA

HYSTA (Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association) was founded in the Silicon Valley in 1999 by a group of pioneering Chinese entrepreneurs. Arriving in the U.S. first as students, they later rose to prominence as founders and leaders of billion dollar public companies. They hoped to build a better connection between China and U.S., and to help aspiring Chinese professionals become successful entrepreneurs like themselves. Hua Yuan, the first two words of HYSTA, means "Chinese origin" and represents HYSTA's deep roots in China.
