Hi! I’m Carylyne Chan, an experienced underdog-to-top-dog startup executive and entrepreneur.

I’m an advisor and angel investor to early-stage, lean teams focused on creating and dominating their own categories.

Previously, I was CEO at CoinMarketCap, which was acquired in 2020. My previous artificial intelligence startup (AngelPad S’16) was acquired in 2018.

I’m currently building two new brands: A tea brand named Portman Tea and a sun care brand called Good Instincts.
