Scale AI is a data annotation firm that provides labelled data used to train artificial intelligence apps.
Guo founded in 2016 alongside her business partner Alexandr Wang.
'I think we're about to see a lot more entrepreneurs be women and valuations grow at a tremendous rate,' she told the publication. 'I wouldn't be surprised if someone else took the title next year, but it's really exciting to see.'

'I still live a very frugal lifestyle. For lunch I get 'buy one get one free' all the time or like, the 50%-off deals. But the one day I decide I need a private jet, maybe I'll sell some shares, but at the moment I'm very happy flying commercial.'
Chatting about taking the title from Swift, she added that Swift has 'always struck me as someone that's very pro-woman and wants other people to win.'
She continued: 'I am a huge fan of her, I think she's an icon.'
The Chinese-American's other ventures include OnlyFans rival Passes.
However, earlier this year she was sued by a content creator who made claim that the site distributed sexually abusive material of her while she was underage.
