Summary
Alvin Graylin is a global technology strategist and serial founder with over three decades of experience building AI, immersive computing, semiconductors, and cybersecurity solutions across the U.S. and China. He has led product and corporate development at HTC, Intel, and Trend Micro, founded multiple venture-backed startups in conversational AI and AR, and invested in more than 100 early-stage companies shaping emerging tech. A published author and frequent keynote speaker, he combines technical depth from MIT dual masters and chip-design beginnings with pragmatic policy work as a fellow at Stanford HAI and the Asia Society. Graylin is known for translating cutting-edge research into scalable ecosystems—founding accelerators, industry alliances, and university courses—to drive real-world adoption of XR and AI. Less obvious: he balances high-level geopolitical and post-AGI economic strategy with hands-on virtual world pedagogy, teaching joint MIT/Harvard coursework on virtual world building.
