Tess Hau is an investor and advisor to high performing startups globally, deep tech companies, and extraordinary founders across the world.
"One of the most exciting things when you’re thinking about launching a new venture is to talk to someone smart, critical, but most importantly interested in engaging with the ideas beyond the venture. For me, Tess Hau is such a person. Tess is a great listener and always has responded enthusiastically to my ideas, helping to form and shape them. She is a super connector who has built a terrific network of individuals and is always looking for opportunities to put folks together. Most importantly, Tess focuses on building relationships and understanding people. That’s a unique and special quality."
"When I met Tess, we had similar backgrounds being investors in unicorn companies in FinTech, AI, blockchain, & deep tech. She immediately showed value by introducing me to a great cybersecurity startup. I was impressed with the traction that the startup had and invested as an angel. When Tess messages or texts you, it behooves you to pickup because there’s something exciting she has to share. She is the premier person to speak to and articulates a vision that often sees further than others. She can model and predict what will happen in following investment rounds and integrates insights from how external factors can impact outcomes of specific investments."
"Although Tess has spent most of her career deep inside the world of Silicon Valley venture capital, over the years she has become deeply immersed in blockchain, crypto and Web3. She has invested in and advised some of the biggest names in crypto, and is often a uniter between the world of crypto and traditional VC. Understanding both of these worlds so deeply is a rare trait in crypto. I am extremely grateful that Tess has given CryptoSlate and myself so much time, energy and attention to detail. We are incredibly excited and truly honored to have her as an advisor."
