About William Lin
I am a co-founder and CEO of AKA Identity that aims to create a delightful solution for a pressing white space in Workforce Identity and Access Management. I have a track record of starting, incubating, investing in and supporting innovative and successful cybersecurity organizations. I've worked with a team of experts and advisors to identify, invest in, and grow the next generation of cybersecurity leaders via my prior role at Forgepoint Capital. I also co-created the Security Tinkerers, an organization that brings together a community of professionals and mentors to educate, inspire, and empower the current and future cybersecurity practitioners. I am passionate about sharing my learnings and insights with others, and I have authored a book and several publications on venture capital and cybersecurity topics. My life’s mission is to be a problem solver. I love to think about difficult problems, learn how to solve them, and build scaleable solutions in service of others. Whether that is building a startup, a non-profit, investing, writing a book, coaching or sharing lessons learned on LinkedIn. I‘ll be writing rarely now while heads down building AKA Identity.
