What Ellen’s unique expertise brings to TechCrunch at every stage
If you don’t know Eren Cheesa yet, she’s like the founder of the early stages of her dream of being in their corner.
At Boldstart Ventures, Ellen helps enterprise software companies before most VCs pay more attention. And she brings deep product and technical empathy to the table. Before joining Boldstart, she co-founded Darklang, a programming language and cloud infrastructure platform built to allow developers to ship faster. That experience, coupled with her product leadership role at Kickstarter and Lola Travel, has made her experience enjoyable from zero to one reality in software building and scaling software.
Ellen holds her BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Olin College and an MBA from Harvard Business School. She’s as comfortable as talking about infrastructure as she’s discussing building a long-term company, and that’s a go-to voice for her early founders navigating complex technical bets.
At every stage of TechCrunch, Ellen shares insights about what investors are actually looking for at the earliest stages of enterprise software, how founders position themselves for belief-level backing, and common traps to avoid when building into a raucous, fast-changing landscape. Her perspective is especially valuable for first-time founders and technical teams moving into startup life.
