Hsin-Ju Chuang, a 37-year-old former partner and head of platform at Hack VC, was pronounced dead at the scene on Aug. 24 after California Highway Patrol responded to southbound Interstate 15 south of Field Road in Harvard. The San Bernardino County coroner recorded the response at 9:47 p.m. and did not disclose a cause of death. Authorities have not established any connection between her death and her dispute with Hack VC. Chuang had said in an archived Aug. 23 post that she would publish evidence on Aug. 26 supporting allegations that Hack VC pressured her to work through a serious medical issue, threatened to blacklist her and later created problems with her COBRA health insurance. The promised evidence has not appeared in the public archives reviewed. Her posts instead preserve two Ethereum and Solana wallet addresses labeled for support, not evidence. Hack VC removed a response after saying public discussion had become hostile toward Chuang, while maintaining that its understanding differed materially from her account. SEC records identify Hack VC Management, LLC as a registered investment adviser, but do not resolve the allegations.
