Kisson Lin, the founder and CEO of Tanka, will take the stage at TechCrunch Sessions: AI on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall. Her session is called “Your Next Co-Founder Will Be AI.” During this poignant session, hear from Orem as she dives into AI-powered strategies to improve everybody’s ability to work together and more effectively.
Tanka, consolidating lessons learned, has created an AI messenger with long-term memory capabilities. This technology makes it possible for the messenger to continue to self-learn and develop right along with the teams that are using it. Since its beta launch in October 2024, Tanka has helped users save 111 workdays with smart AI-generated smart replies. This is a wonderful accomplishment and testament to the power of this technology to move the needle on workplace productivity.
Kisson Lin has a remarkable academic record. He holds a master’s degree in data science and business statistics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her deep career in tech includes important roles as Mozilla’s Chief Technology Officer. Prior to that, she’s worked mostly on AI, memory systems, and collaboration tooling. Before founding Tanka, Lin was based in Singapore at Meta where she helped lead regional strategic initiatives. At TikTok, she was instrumental in developing TikTok’s e-commerce and ads monetization strategies globally from Beijing.
Lin is no stranger to entrepreneurship as she co-founded Mindverse AI, where she served as COO. As the first employee at Mindverse AI, she helped build cutting-edge products that boosted creativity and productivity. These ranged from Me.bot, an AI note-taking app with memory features, to MindOS, an OS for AI agents.
At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Lin will share insights into how Tanka’s AI memory technology can significantly enhance team efficiency—a topic that resonates deeply in today’s fast-paced work environments. The event is expected to attract about 1,000 participants. What this surge reflects is the heightened demand for real AI solutions to solve today’s complex business challenges.
