Lydia Han

Here’s someone who’s absolutely crushing it. Lydia Han. This girl’s the real deal. She’s a YC W21 alum and a total powerhouse in the startup world. Started out with some legit gigs at Facebook, Salesforce, Slack, and Brex – all big players, right? She was shipping products, leading teams, crushing it in product management. Not just any PM-she was the lead at Brex, senior PM at Slack, and even worked on some of the coolest integrations like Google Calendar, O365 Slack apps, and Zoom partnerships. That’s some heavy-duty stuff.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Lydia didn’t just stop at working for big companies. She jumped into the startup scene and co-founded ModernLoop in December 2020. This isn’t some random project – it’s a recruiting ops platform, super focused on making hiring and HR processes smoother with SaaS magic. And get this – ModernLoop was part of YC’s Winter 2021 batch. That’s the stamp of approval from one of the top startup accelerators out there.

What does that say about her? Honestly, she’s got this relentless drive to build tools that actually solve real problems. She’s been around the block, seen what works and what doesn’t, and now she’s building something that’s changing how companies recruit and manage talent. She’s all about user experience – making stuff that’s not just functional but actually delightful to use. That’s her superpower.

Under her leadership, ModernLoop has raised some serious funding, and she’s got big-name customers like Benchling, Chainalysis, Ramp, Primer.ai, and VSCO on board. That’s no small feat – it shows she’s not just talk; she’s got the skills and vision to make an impact.

What’s her story telling us? She’s the kind of founder who’s been inside the big tech companies, learned the ropes, and then jumped out to build something of her own. She’s motivated by creating tools that make people’s lives easier, especially in hiring and operations – areas where most companies struggle. She’s not just building for the sake of it; she’s building because she sees the pain and wants to fix it, and she’s doing it with style.

So yeah, Lydia Han is a boss. She’s got the tech chops, the vision, and the hustle. She’s one of those founders who’s gonna keep pushing boundaries and changing the game. No Cap.
