We are thrilled to announce that Kisson Lin, the founder and CEO of Tanka, will be participating in a thought-provoking and informative interview at TechCrunch Sessions: AI, titled “Your Next Co-Founder Will Be AI.” Lin is one of the many exceptional speakers who will be attending the event on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall, and there is still time to register to secure your spot and learn from their expertise.

For those who may not be familiar with Lin, her company has developed an AI-powered messenger that utilizes long-term memory, self-learns, and evolves with teams. Prior to founding Tanka, Lin worked at several prominent tech companies, including Meta, where she was based in Singapore, and TikTok, where she led the company’s e-commerce and ads monetization strategies from Beijing.

Lin is also a seasoned entrepreneur, having previously co-founded Mindverse AI, where she played a key role in developing products such as Me.bot, an AI note-taking app with memory capabilities, and MindOS, an AI agent operating system, as the company’s COO.

Indeed, Lin, who holds a master’s degree in data science and business statistics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has established an impressive career at the intersection of AI, memory systems, and team collaboration tools. As a self-described “longtime neuroscience enthusiast and amateur sci-fi writer,” she is particularly interested in exploring how memory shapes intelligence, a passion that directly influences Tanka’s approach to AI.

At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Lin will discuss how Tanka’s AI memory technology can significantly enhance team efficiency, a model that has powerful implications for solo founders looking to compete with larger organizations. (Since its beta launch in October 2024, Tanka reports that users have already saved the equivalent of 111 workdays through the platform’s AI-generated smart replies.)

Furthermore, she will be discussing the various tools and processes that are now enabling solopreneurs to build substantial businesses without requiring large teams or excessive venture funding.

The interview is part of a broader program featuring top AI leaders, including Anthropic co-founder Jared Kaplan, Databricks co-founder and UC Berkeley professor Ion Stoica, and DeepMind senior product manager Logan Kilpatrick.

With approximately 1,000 attendees expected, TechCrunch Sessions: AI is a must-attend event for AI developers and founders navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape. If you’re building an AI startup or planning to launch one, this event offers crucial insights that will shape your strategic direction.
