Lyn Chen — Co-Founder

Hey! I'm Lyn Chen, an entrepreneur-educator building the future of learning in a post-AI world. I'm in pursuit of being a renaissance woman who cracks codes for young people and women across technical, high growth industries. Over the last decade, I've helped thousands of students develop entrepreneurial life skills and created a serendipity engine that changes life trajectories. In other words, building real-world curriculum and teaching young people to engineer their own luck. At 17, I gave my first lecture in a marketing MBA program as a teen food science entrepreneur + marketing consultant. In my early 20s, I became the youngest Forbes30u30 in my category, joined the Thiel Fellowship, and started a YCombinator-backed Developer Tooling company (sold). In my mid 20s I became one of the youngest director of TKS Toronto, where I developed and prepared talented young people. Today, I run Cansbridge Scholars, a community and program for ambitious 18-25 year olds learning what schools don't teach. My mission: In my lifetime, I'd love to transform education and empower 50 million young people to build extraordinary lives through interdisciplinary learning, community, and entrepreneurship. I hope to be your modern day Maria Montessori x Charlie Munger who teaches how to engineer serendipity and learn the best skills for your trade of choice. What I do: → Company: I run an education innovation focused venture studio. Our first project is Cansbridge Scholars with 3 cohorts per year teaching entrepreneurial life skills. → Contract L&D, curriculum design, workshops: I love making lessons fun through embedded storytelling, engaging speakers, and more that not only elevate brands but elevate minds. → I’m writing my first solo book: on human development, how to lead your life in a post AI world. → What I post about: the experience of company building, practical tips for interdisciplinary learners, writing, what I’m reading, and the future of education. → Some quirky things about me: I like to learn a new sport a year (dance this year, running last year), and I'm really into teaching my pets how to talk using buttons.
