Adam Link is a multidisciplinary operator who blends 11 years of software engineering and infrastructure leadership with fiduciary financial advising for founders and equity-compensated professionals. He has run cloud, FinOps, and blockchain infrastructure teams at Coinbase and built DevSecOps and CI/CD platforms at startups, pairing a PhD in Computer Science and advanced cybersecurity degrees with hands-on systems work. As Financial Advisor at Fireweed Capital he leverages four company exits, nine angel investments, and real estate experience to advise builders on equity comp, QSBS, entity structure, and concentrated-position drawdown strategies. Comfortable orchestrating CPAs, estate attorneys, and investment bankers, he positions himself as a peer to clients who want active wealth-building guidance rather than passive preservation. Known for creating practical continuity and provisioning systems (including a disaster recovery team in India) he combines operator credibility with fee-based fiduciary independence. Based in Minnesota, he uniquely bridges deep technical infrastructure expertise with real-world entrepreneurial finance.
