Darwin Ling

As a technology leader (VP Engineering/CTO), I have a keen passion for building services and products that are beloved by customers. I love the challenge of scaling teams and systems. As a hands-on architect in mobile/cloud technologies, I had extensive experiences in building and managing highly scalable systems. Additionally, as a data scientist with extensive business training (Chicago MBA), I had deep interest in unlocking data insights and leveraging them to solve business problems I am an entrepreneur who had successes in launching venture-backed startups, raising capital, and bringing disruptive products to marketplace and ultimately leading these companies to acquisitions. Notable accomplishments include Skyfire’s acquisition by Opera Software, Jaxtr’s acquisition by Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail Founder), and Dazel’s acquisition by HP. With all the help I have received over the years from the entrepreneur community, I reciprocate by also serving as an angel investor, a mentor (Alchemist Accelerator, University of Chicago NVC New Venture Challenge, SVBIG) and an advisor to various startups.
