Eva Lau

Cofounder and General Partner, Two Small Fish Ventures

Eva Lau is a respected entrepreneur-turned-investor and one of the few women

leading a venture fund in Canada.


Eva uses her background in engineering and deep expertise in network effects, AI

and semiconductors to help startups scale exponentially. Her third US$30 million

fund invests in the next frontier of computing and its applications—from deep-tech AI

global entertainment industry. As head of the community and content, she helped

the company scale from hundreds to tens of millions of users.
