Carol Li
Hi, I’m Carol — a multi‑hyphenate builder who lives for momentum, meaning, and the magic of bringing people together. As an ENFJ and high‑energy operator, I connect dots, connect people, and turn ideas into movements.
I’ve worn many hats — VP of AI Product, entrepreneur, angel investor, data scientist, community builder — and my superpower is creating environments where people feel energized and excited to grow. That’s how Seattle’s grassroots tech community, Billow.fun, scaled from 2 people to 10,000+ members through nearly 2,000 events since 2018.
Today, I help shape the future of storytelling as VP of Product & Investment at AstroWit, an AI‑movie company pioneering new ways to create, produce, and experience stories. I am also an investment partner at BondingAI.io, home of the world’s first AI Operating System (AIOS) powered by xLLM (LLM 2.0). If SAP runs ERP and Salesforce runs CRM, BondingAI runs Enterprise AI.
Let’s build something bold, human, and future-forward — together.

My Public Speaking Life
For the past 7 years, Toastmasters has been my playground for growth and connection. What started as a curiosity for public speaking evolved into a transformative journey—I've met over 1,000 speakers from 30+ countries, each one offering a glimpse into a different life. Listening to their stories has widened my perspective and deepened my empathy.
Along the way, I grew into the role of club president and became a confident, experienced speaker. Our Tuesday meetings feel like home—a global family that inspires me every week.
My Hip-hop Dance Life
This is how I recharge and express joy:
In 2020, during the pandemic, I founded Waves Dance—a hip-hop crew of 20+ passionate performers who don’t just dance, we create our own stage. I curate and adapt choreography from inspiring dancers online, and lead the group in regular, high-energy practices. From rehearsals to showtime, we build every experience from the ground up. Waves is where I channel my energy, creativity, and love for community into movement that inspires.
Waves Dance- We create our own stage.
