Eric He

You absolutely need to hear the story of Eric He, dude’s the real deal in the startup game. He’s a YC S21 alum, which means he crushed it in the latest batch, and man, his background? It’s straight fire.

Before jumping into startups, Eric was at Amazon. Yeah, that Amazon. That’s where he got his hands dirty with big-scale tech, building stuff that millions use. That experience? Absolute gold. It’s like he’s seen the full spectrum, from the massive corporate machine to the scrappy startup grind.

Then he co-founded Commery, a platform all about e-commerce infrastructure. Think of it as the backbone for online shopping. He’s out here trying to make e-comm smoother, faster, better. That’s some real-deal vision right there. Not just building for today but shaping the future of how we buy shit online.

And he’s also linked to Retool, you know those tools that help companies build internal apps fast? Yeah, he’s been involved there too. It’s all about making work easier, more fast. The guy clearly loves building stuff that solves real problems, stuff that scales, stuff that matters.

What’s wild is his process, from Amazon’s giant halls to the startup hustle, he’s always chasing the future trend. And I think that’s what makes him tick. He’s got that hunger to create, to innovate, to push boundaries. His background shows he’s not afraid to jump into the deep end, whether it’s at a giant tech company or a new YC startup. He’s motivated by building stuff that actually changes the game.

You can tell he’s not just in it for the fame or the money. Nah, it’s about solving problems, having an effect, and learning along the way. The fact that he’s been part of both big corporations and startups tells me he’s got a super broad perspective, he knows how the big guys operate but also how to innovate quickly when it counts.

Wrap it all up, Eric’s the kind of founder you want to watch. He’s got the experience, the hustle, and the vision. Dude’s been around the block, crushed it at every step, and is still out here pushing forward. No Cap, he’s one of the ones shaping the future of tech and commerce. That’s why he’s important, he’s not just riding the wave; he’s making the damn thing.
