Kevin Tian is a founder-CEO and seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building large-scale real-time marketplaces and safety-focused products from the ground up. After leading foundational dispatch and matching systems at Uber and Lyft—work that materially increased marketplace efficiency and supported hundreds of millions of trips—he co-founded Doppel to tackle social-engineering threats with backing from a16z and other top investors. He combines hands-on systems design and cross-organizational leadership (bootstrapping Uber Copter’s airspace systems and multimodal products) with product instincts developed running core ride-share offerings. Based in San Francisco, he also advises at Tola Capital, bringing operator perspective to early-stage companies. Notably, his career reflects a pattern of turning complex, real-time distributed problems into reliable production services that scale.
