Evaline Tsai

Deadass, here’s what you need to know about Evaline Tsai, this is a straight-up powerhouse in the startup and biotech game. So, she jumped into the scene with a solid academic background, right? BSE in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Princeton, the real deal, then crushed it even more with a PhD at Cambridge in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. This girl is not messing around when it comes to science.

But here’s where it gets wild. She didn’t just stop at school. She jumped into the trenches with some pretty sick experience. She was at Cambridge Cancer Genomics, building stuff in biotech, trying to crack the code on cancer. Then she jumped into the startup world big time as the first product manager on machine learning at Samsara, a major player in IoT and operations tech. That’s like being on the frontlines of the future, AI and IoT, the stuff that’s gonna run everything.

And she’s more than just a tech geek. She’s got a real fire for making a difference. Now, as Principal at Gigascale Capital, she’s all in on climate tech investments, stuff that could actually save the planet. Before that, she was at Fine Structure Ventures, backing cool companies like Commonwealth Fusion Systems and Boston Metal. She’s driven by big ideas that could totally reshape energy and biotech.

Oh, and she’s a YC alum, Batch S17, so she’s been through the startup grind, learned the ropes, and crushed it. She’s based in SF now but has lived all over, East Coast, UK, she’s got that global hustle.

Her story? It’s about pushing boundaries. From academia to biotech, then into AI and IoT, and now into climate tech investing, she’s constantly changing, always chasing the future trend. She’s someone who sees the big picture, wants to solve real problems, and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. Honestly, she embodies what it means to be a founder, curious as hell, driven as hell, and making moves that matter. No Cap, she’s the real deal.
