Dato' Eric Cheng Keeps Changing the Bet - but Never the Instinct
Before CapitalX, Eric Cheng learned service in the air, sales on the ground and timing in the property market. His career is a study in how an operator carries the same instincts into new rooms.
Fengru Lin
Fengru Lin is the co-founder and CEO of TurtleTree, a biotech company making dairy proteins without cows. A former Google account manager who took up cheesemaking as a hobby, she went hunting across Asia for clean raw milk, was horrified by what she found on the farms, and started a company to make milk in a lab instead. TurtleTree pivoted from full cell-cultured milk to precision fermentation, and now produces lactoferrin, a high-value milk protein once called 'pink gold,' using microbes instead of herds. She has raised roughly $44 million and made EDGE's 35 Under 35 and Her World's Young Woman Achiever lists.
