HAE Investor Series: Eric Rosenblum, Tsingyuan Ventures

As a big tech and cybersecurity expert with over two decades of professional experience, Eric Rosenblum works to help startups stay competitive during major tech shifts. 

Over the past 20 years or so, Silicon Valley entrepreneurship and venture capital have been summarized by Peter Thiel’s famous quote: "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters". However, suddenly "deep tech" is having a moment: genetic sequencing has unlocked opportunities in pharma and precision medicine. Electric vehicles are creating tremendous pull for batteries, motors/ magnets, and sensors. Space technologies are suddenly hot. And semiconductor processes are disrupting formerly sleepy industries. 

This talk will focus on this latest wave of deep tech entrepreneurship: What is driving it? What are the most promising areas? What are the potential pitfalls? And what needs to happen to continue the surge of fundamental science and technology breakthroughs. 

Eric’s interests as an investor include:

  • Deep Tech Entrepreneurship

  • US-based technologies bridging China and the US

  • Early-stage ventures
