SPEAKER. ADVISOR. INVESTOR.
Christina Caljé is a seasoned entrepreneur and investor in early-stage companies.
Following the acquisition of my video technology company in 2021, I shifted my ambition towards legacy. I advise and invest in practical innovations that address pressing social, economic and environmental challenges. I enjoy thought partnership and tactical problem solving with leaders across the full spectrum of technology and society, from academics developing technological theory to industry CXOs of publicly traded companies to regulators creating the governance frameworks. It’s only through shared perspectives and collaborative approach that we can develop technologies for maximum societal benefit.
- CHRISTINA CALJE
Born and raised in New York City, Christina Caljé is an entrepreneur and investor working at the intersection of technology, capital, and public understanding. A former Goldman Sachs Executive Director, she brings over 15 years of experience spanning venture capital and financial services across New York, London, and Amsterdam.
She is the founder of TINTT (Too Important Not To Try), a platform built on a single conviction: that understanding is the difference between technologies that transform society — and those that don't. Through TINTT, she advises leaders across the private and public sectors on navigating the strategic and ethical trade-offs inherent in frontier innovation.
Her current focus is quantum technology, which she sees approaching the same inflection point AI reached several years ago. As creator, host, and executive producer of Stories From the Lab, she goes inside Europe's most advanced labs and scale-ups to make complex science accessible, investable, and culturally relevant.
That perspective is grounded in experience. She founded and scaled AI video company Autheos — building at the frontier before the word was fashionable — which was acquired in 2021. Since then, she has been an active angel investor across Europe and the US, and serves on investment committees and boards spanning venture capital, academia, and public institutions — including as Chair of the School of Business & Economics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Treasurer of the Fulbright Commission of the Netherlands.
A sought-after speaker and moderator on frontier technology and the role of capital in shaping transformative technologies, Christina has been recognised with the Techleap Giving Back Award (2022), the Women in Technology Global Leadership Award Netherlands (2022), and was a top 3 finalist for the AI4Her Legacy Award (2026).
"If we don't explain frontier technologies early, we lose the public later."
She splits her time between Amsterdam, London, and New York.
