Dr. Moien Giashi, PhD

Moien doesn’t just invest – he architects pathways for Canadian deep-tech startups. In just 27 months, he led diligence and funding for six climate-tech companies, including Edgecom Energy, (see our Technology, Telecom & Media winners) whose AI platform enables buildings to cut peak demand by 20%, and SymX AI, which trims mining emissions by 10%. He helps CEOs optimize strategy, operations, and fundraising. Moien also advances building decarbonization, linking startups like Adaptis with the real estate sector to embed automated carbon assessment tools. From authoring numerous articles on deep tech investing to judging clean-tech grants, his leadership is accelerating commercialization and helping cleantech-driven reductions scale.
