James Wang is a General Partner at Creative Ventures, an early-stage deep tech venture fund investing in AI, healthcare, synthetic biology, and industrial technology, and the author of What You Need to Know About AI. Before becoming an investor, he co-founded Lioness as CTO, developing biofeedback devices with physiological sensors and building ML pipelines on data from thousands of users— giving him firsthand experience with the unique challenges of bringing bio-hardware from bench to market. In this talk, James will share what the journey from founder to VC taught him about what separates deep tech startups that succeed from those that stall, how AI is reshaping what's possible for biology-driven companies, and practical advice for researchers thinking about commercializing their work and raising venture capital.
