Tara Tan is Venture Studio Lead at IDEO CoLab. Exploring the future with emerging tech. Working with early-stage teams and backing founders with bold ambitions. At IDEO, I drive collaborations with leading startups, and have previously held key leadership roles in startups and venture studios. Obsessed with learning and diving deep into emerging technologies, I've dived into blockchain, ML, robotics, XR, and desktop manufacturing. Always championing good design (and good humans!), I've spoken at SXSW, Berkeley Haas, DevCon, SF Design Week on design, ventures, and emerging technologies.
