Ingrid Chen
Controller & Partner

Ingrid serves as the Head of Finance, bringing 20 years of experience in accounting, finance, and venture capital. She brings a hands-on approach to helping founders navigate challenges and scale their businesses. Her perspective is shaped by a deep understanding of how operations and finance come together to drive growth — a skill she developed early, working in her family’s small businesses.
‍
Ingrid’s career spans accounting and finance roles at Ernst & Young, a seed-stage startup, big tech at Cisco, and venture capital including Trident Capital and Accel, giving her a unique ability to support businesses across industries and growth stages. She believes the best businesses are built by founders with grit, creativity, and a willingness to rethink what’s possible.
‍
Ingrid earned her degree in accounting from the University of Southern California and she holds a CPA license. She’s an adventurer at heart, currently on a mission to visit all seven modern wonders of the world (three down, four to go). Outside of work, she enjoys experimenting with new recipes, spending time with friends and family, and finding creative inspiration in the process of building something from scratch.
