Life Sciences Angel Investor
Invest in the
Future of
Health.
Navigating complexity in early-stage healthcare investing.
About
I've been on both sides of the table.
I'm Chao Zheng — a life sciences angel investor with over a decade of R&D experience in the pharmaceutical industry, working across discovery, development, and translational science. I know what rigorous scientific work looks like — and what it takes to turn it into a fundable company.
As an active angel investor in life sciences, I sit on the investor side of the pitch. I understand what moves investors to act, and I can speak the science.
My focus is seed-stage life sciences — therapeutics, medical devices, and digital health — where my industry background and investor network create the most value for the founders I back.
