We\u2019re thrilled to announce that Ellen Chisa, partner at Boldstart Ventures<\/a>, will be joining us at TechCrunch All Stage 2025<\/a> for an energizing conversation about investing in enterprise startups from day one. She\u2019s one of the standout voices shaping this year\u2019s lineup of founders, funders, and operators gathering July 15 in Boston\u2019s <\/strong>SoWa Power Station, and you won\u2019t want to miss what she brings to the table.<\/p>\n All Stage is where startup builders get real answers to real questions \u2014 from how to raise your next round to how to manage founder burnout. Whether you\u2019re scaling your team, fixing your financial model, or just figuring out your next move, All Stage is built to give you the tactical playbook and trusted community you need to grow faster and smarter.

Check out the best option for you and your team right here<\/a>!<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t already know Ellen Chisa, she\u2019s the kind of investor early-stage founders dream of having in their corner.<\/p>\n At Boldstart Ventures, Ellen backs enterprise software companies before most VCs are even paying attention \u2014 and she brings deep product and technical empathy to the table. Before joining Boldstart, she co-founded Darklang<\/a>, a programming language and cloud infrastructure platform built to help developers ship faster. That experience, combined with her product leadership roles at Kickstarter and Lola Travel, makes her uniquely fluent in the realities of building and scaling software from zero to one.<\/p>\n Ellen holds a B.S. in electrical and computer engineering from Olin College and an MBA from Harvard Business School, which adds even more firepower to her founder-first approach. She\u2019s as comfortable talking about infrastructure as she is discussing long-term company-building \u2014 and that makes her a go-to voice for early-stage founders navigating complex technical bets.<\/p>\n At TechCrunch All Stage<\/a>, Ellen will share insights on what investors are really looking for in the earliest stages of enterprise software, how founders can position themselves for conviction-level backing, and the common traps to avoid when building in a noisy, fast-changing landscape. Her perspective is especially valuable for first-time founders and technical teams transitioning into startup life.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBerkeley, CA<\/span> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t She\u2019ll be joined by other top minds in tech and venture, including operators, engineers, and investors who\u2019ve built billion-dollar companies and want to help you do the same. TechCrunch All Stage 2025<\/strong><\/a> expects to draw hundreds of ambitious startup leaders looking for clarity, capital, and connection \u2014 and the conversations happening on- and offstage will shape the next generation of great companies.<\/p>\n Ellen Chisa\u2019s session is a must-see for anyone building the future of enterprise tech. Don\u2019t miss your chance to learn from her and others charting the course of modern startups.<\/p>\nWhat Ellen\u2019s unique expertise brings to TechCrunch All Stage<\/h2>\n
