Isabelle Gan

I'm a product engineer & founder. I believe good design is inseparable from good engineering.

Starting my first company at 16, with PayPal as title sponsor, pulled me into building scrappy 0-1 products and shipping fast.

From ages 17 to 21, I helped integrate a $16B acquisition at BMO, drove 9‑figure enterprise deals at SAP, scaled Pogo from $0 to multiple 5‑figure accounts (now 7‑figure), and invested in early‑stage founders at Pear VC and Ripple Ventures.

At the University of Waterloo, I combined cognitive science and HCI research with hands-on product building, leading 125+ students to ship bespoke software pro bono for 15+ nonprofits.

Now, I'm building developer infrastructure to make healthcare data interoperable, supported by Founders Inc and Redesign Health.

Outside of work, I'm an endurance athlete, photographer, and Formula 1 fan. I dive deep into longevity rabbitholes, find beauty in solo travel, and aim to summit a mountain on every continent.
