As an engineer and General Partner at Two Small Fish Ventures, Eva’s focus is singular: turning research-grounded innovation into massive commercial scale. She backs transformative technology that delivers a major step-function gain for how the world operates.
Before investing, she was a key founding team member at Wattpad, an AI-powered entertainment company. She helped scale the platform to tens of millions of users, driving a US$660M exit. That was not just a consumer win. It was a masterclass in productization, feedback loops, and reshaping large-scale behaviour. Today, she brings that exact go-to-market muscle to frontier tech. Brilliant science without ruthless productization is just an expensive science project. She has always built against the grain. Founding Two Small Fish Ventures as one of the very few women to start a VC fund in Canada required the exact same relentlessness she demands from her founders today. She doesn’t wait for consensus. She finds groundbreaking innovation at the source.
Along with an in-house team of veteran operators and deep-tech domain experts, the team validate the hard science and system architecture from the ground up. They invest with deep conviction across five core areas: Vertical AI Platforms, Physical AI, AI Infrastructure, Advanced Computing Hardware, and Smart Energy. At CDL, she is not here to be a “mentor.” She is here to inspire your commercialization strategy.
