Eric Wang

Meet your new inspiration Eric Wang-this dude’s the real deal in the startup world. He’s a tech junkie who jumped straight into the deep end and crushed it. So, he’s from YC’s S23 batch, which already says a lot-these guys only pick the best.

Eric’s process? It’s wild. Started off in big tech at Amazon, working on their game dev platform-nothing flashy, but that’s where he cut his teeth. Then, he jumped into the startup scene, co-founding Advent Studios and launching multiplayer games on Fortnite’s UEFN platform. Yeah, he’s into game dev too-this guy’s got his fingers in a lot of pies.

But his real breakout? Kips Health. He was the founder and Head of Product there, and this was a YC-backed health tech startup. Over almost a year, he built and shipped an AI health messaging product that’s helping hundreds of Medicare patients and tons of health and therapy networks in California. The dude raised around a million bucks from YC, Spark Labs, and angels-no small feat. That’s a clear sign of the trust and hype around what he’s doing. And get this-he managed everything from product to user research, marketing, design, engineering. The guy’s a one-man army when it comes to getting shit done.

What does that tell us? Eric’s got mad motivation. He’s not just in tech for the hell of it-he’s out here solving real problems, making health tech smarter and more accessible. His drive? Pushing boundaries and building shit that actually matters. And he’s into all kinds of creative stuff-tennis, dance choreography, music production, writing. The guy’s got the vibe of a true creative entrepreneur who just happens to be a tech whiz.

Fast forward, after wrapping up Kips Health, he’s now leading product engineering at Culina Health, which shows he’s still all in on health tech but now focusing more on the engineering side. Basically, he’s always changing, always pushing forward.

Long story short: Eric Wang is that rare combo of tech badass, startup founder, and creative mind. He’s built products that help real people, raised serious capital, and keeps leveling up. The guy’s not just in it for the hustle-he genuinely wants to make an impact. No cap, he’s someone to watch.
