Richard Yan is Co-Founder and COO at Vite. Host of The Blockchain Debate Podcast. Co-organizer of Silicon Valley Bitcoin. Built escape rooms. Ex-Goldman, ex-Two Sigma. You win some, you dim sum. I am currently COO of a crypto company called Vite. We are looking to make a new and better public blockchain. I previously led the finance and BD effort at Scratch.fi, a new loan servicer seeking to transform the way debt is experienced by all parties in the lending ecosystem -- the borrower, lender, and loan buyer. Previously, I developed business strategies at Two Sigma, to help the firm's entry into various sectors. I was also product manager for Two Sigma's high frequency trading platform, after a career of building quantitative strategies for MBS trading at Goldman Sachs. On the side, I started and operated an escape room business; and invest in real estate opportunities.
