Eva Ho grew up as a refugee from Mozambique, working in her family's restaurant from elementary school, and frames this outsider background as an unfair advantage that helps her spot potential in non-traditional founders and recognize opportunities others miss. She's one of the rare VCs who has been a founding GP at two separate seed funds—first Susa Ventures, then co-founding Fika—and openly discusses the craft of building fund platforms from scratch, including LP fundraising and firm culture.

She repeatedly celebrates these graduation cohorts, asking her network to hire talent from partners like LA Tech and the County of LA.

She repeatedly amplified the success of portfolio company Upwards (formerly WeeCare), celebrating their Series B raise and their partnership with the US Army Reserves to support military families.
