Eden Chan

Currently building tools for chip design teams at MatX.

Previously talent engineering at xAI, product at Ideaflow, and Bronco.

I studied computer science at the University of Waterloo. I organized events as president of the computer science club, and built a startup job platform for my friends.

I grew up in Toronto, graduated from Waterloo, lived in a hacker house in San Francisco, Canggu & Kyoto, and now Palo Alto.

When I'm not working I'm usually hiking.

Some things I believe

Health is Wealth.
Be kind to yourself, and to your curiosity.
Where you get dopamine is predictive of your behavior.
Taste = knowing what's good from bad.
Good taste = experiences (art, food, music, content) that change your brain chemistry in a meaningful way, where "meaningful" requires a lingering trace.
The point of doing a startup is to build something you can't buy.
Work with the best people you can find, on the highest-impact thing you can find.
Love begins with deep understanding.
The meaning of life is to locally reverse entropy.
