Kevin Chan

Lowkey, you gotta hear about Kevin Chan, this guy’s a straight-up beast in the startup world. He’s a YC S15 alum, so he jumped into the scene pretty early, and you can tell he’s been all about building shit that actually moves the needle.

Kevin’s been around the block with a bunch of startups, Maderight, Mayfair, Headway, ASPECD Apparel, and even some time at UC Berkeley, which is like his launching pad. The dude’s not just jumping into ideas; he’s out here actually doing the work, experimenting, learning, you name it. His process shows he’s all about that grind, that hustle to turn ideas into real businesses.

He’s now CTO at Vinyl Metrics, which apparently is doing some interesting stuff in the data/metrics space, dude’s deep in the tech trenches, making the magic happen behind the scenes. From what I gather, he’s not just about tech for tech’s sake, he’s got a real eye for what moves markets, what scales, and what’s just bullshit.

What’s crazy is, he’s also connected with that Orange Fund V crew, basically a mafia of Y Combinator alumni who pour money into early-stage startups. That tells you a lot about his network and credibility. This guy’s not just a hacker in his basement; he’s got the creds and the respect to back it up.

And honestly, what I get from his story is that Kevin’s all about starting things that matter, pushing boundaries, and not settling for mediocrity. He’s the kind of dude who jumps into the deep end, learns fast, and keeps moving forward. It’s like he’s wired to build, to innovate, to disrupt.

Long story short, Kevin Chan is a tech entrepreneur who’s proven he can build, scale, and lead. He’s got that rare combo of technical chops and startup hustle. No cap, he’s the real deal, and I’d keep an eye on him because he’s not done yet.
