Hi there, Iām Chris! š
I was recently a VC investor at Panache Ventures, an early-stage VC fund investing in pre-seed and seed Canadian-rooted startups. Before that, I spent most of my last few years digging rabbit holes in startups and VC.
I recently built products at AltaML's Venture Studio (founded by Investopedia's creator), investing in Seed to Series B at other funds like White Star Capital and Inovia Capital, and working in biz ops roles at various startup like Optionality AI & Ground AI.
I also spent 2 years serving in the Singapore Military attached to the Singapore Artillery as a Motor Transport Operator & an Emergency Ambulance Operator.When I'm not obsessing over startups, I'm usually getting submitted in BJJ (somehow still addicted), suffering through another Chelsea FC's season, running in the city to clear my head, or geeking out over watches. I studied Economics, Computer Science & Entrepreneurship at McGill, which mostly taught me I'd rather build something real than debate theory all day.
