Dr. Poppy Crum brings a rare neuroscientist-technologist background to venture investing, having spent her career studying how technology can adapt to human biology and emotion rather than forcing people to adjust to generic systems, with experience spanning Stanford, Dolby, Trimble, and work on sensors, hearables, and emotion tracking. She's also led international standardization efforts, including in AI, and consistently argues that good technology should reduce cognitive burden by focusing on the right signals instead of just adding more data—a scientific, cross-disciplinary perspective that still defines how she's introduced even now as an investor at Giant Step Capital.
