Summary
Linda Lee is a serial entrepreneur, product executive, and angel investor with 20+ years building and scaling data-driven consumer and advertising platforms that have created over $1B in value. She combines deep technical chops (M.Eng. in CS) with hands-on product leadership across gaming, blockchain/NFTs, marketplaces, and adtech, having led major initiatives at Yahoo, Zynga, Walmart Connect and PLAYSTUDIOS. A builder of tokenized loyalty and sweepstakes businesses, she routinely operates at the 0-to-1 stage—founding startups, mobilizing cross-functional teams, and taking products through funding, acquisition, and commercialization. Known for pragmatic monetization, pricing and personalization expertise, she also champions female founders as a focused angel investor who deliberately writes only a few checks per year. She authors FLINT - Spark Notes to mentor women in tech and frequently speaks and teaches on product-market fit, AI-driven personalization, and game economics. An uncommon blend of operator, strategist and domain specialist, she thrives at the intersection of blockchain, gaming and AI-driven consumer experiences.
