On September 25, I will be the keynote speaker at Lab2Market Deeptech Expo.

While many associate Wattpad primarily with storytelling (and they’re not wrong – after all, I am on IMDb!), it is important to highlight that Wattpad has also been an AI-driven company for well over a decade, long before AI became cool! 😉 We built our own “Story DNA” AI technology to generate insights from the world’s largest and most diverse sets of stories and data. Without AI, managing our billions of story uploads would be impossible.

It is also worth noting that I am an electrical engineer, which means I know a thing or two about semiconductors, energy, telecommunication, etc. In fact, all three partners at Two Small Fish Ventures, i.e. Eva, Brandon and myself, are engineers with BOTH software and hardware experience. We’ve been backing commercialized AI, semiconductor and advanced material companies like Ideogram, Ada, BenchSci, Zinite, Sheertex and many more for years.

As an engineer-turn-CEO-turn-investor who has been involved in deep tech for a long time, I will share a broad perspective of where deep tech is heading. Look forward to it!
