Resume
To You Who Read Till Here
To You Who Read Till HereAt 17, I turned down the chance to become a pilot to pursue a broader commercial world.
At 19, I sensed a wave in functional consumer goods, dropped out to found a startup, and became one of the earliest explorers combining anti-aging ingredients with fashion beverages in China.
At 23, from my dorm at Cambridge, I built an MVP with a friend from Tencent for an AI-powered digital outlet combining virtual supermodels with off-season fashion.
I’ve interned at securities firms, private equity, and venture capital institutions, building experience in investment analysis, financial modeling, and quantitative research.
My strength lies in understanding financial logic from a product perspective and solving business problems with technical solutions.
During the pandemic, I also joined a legal-tech startup where I led the SaaS product architecture design.
As a sailor, I’ve learned to read the wind and stay calm amid turbulence — a survival logic I apply in an ever-changing world.
I believe finance, technology, and reality will converge to form a new order.
And I aspire to be the connector, the designer, and the builder of that vision.
Young people should execute boldly and learn through real-world feedback, even failure.
This journey of self-exploration and steady growth has taught me to cherish every possible opportunity.
My goal is to be someone who truly loves the world and creates value for it — not a drifting opportunist.
“In the world's broad field of battle, in the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle — Be a hero in the strife.”
—— Longfellow, A Psalm of Life
Believe me, the setbacks and struggles I’ve endured may go far beyond what most would imagine.
At 21, I was already responsible for supporting several team members. While others were enjoying campus life, I was living in a leaky basement and a ¥600/month rental.
During the day, I wore a suit and sold hard — meeting clients, chasing hope. Back then, I had no university offers, no fallback. I believe this became one of the key forces that drove me to finish my Sydney degree in just 1.5 years.
And yet, my dreams remained bold — clear, ambitious, and seemingly unreachable.
My happiest moment? At 23, in my dorm at Cambridge, I developed an MVP with a friend from Tencent — a digital outlet fusing AI supermodels and off-season fashion.
Business is romantic when small teams shake industries — and, sometimes, change the world.
—— Richard Lin
