CEO & Co-Founder of
Gestala (2026)
About

Phoenix Peng is Founder and CEO of Gestala, China's first ultrasound brain-computer interface company pioneering non-invasive neuromodulation technology for medical therapeutics.

Before founding

Peng studied at Fudan University and built a track record across Alibaba Group, Keruyun Technologies, and 24Quan.com before turning his focus entirely to neuroscience and BCI.

Founder Insights

A serial entrepreneur at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, Peng believes ultrasound BCI can unlock whole-brain access without surgery, addressing the single biggest barrier to mass BCI adoption.

Experience

Peng co-founded Shanghai-based NeuroXess, a leading invasive BCI implant company, before departing to launch Gestala with gaming mogul and neuroscience philanthropist Tianqiao Chen.

Scale & Impact

Just two months after launch, Gestala secured a $21.6M angel round, the largest early-stage BCI funding in China's history, with early trials showing a single session reducing pain scores by 50%.
