Summary
Minn Kim is a founder and investor with a decade of experience building programs and products that accelerate technical talent and startups, now focused on simplifying U.S. immigration through Lighthouse HQ. Previously a partner at On Deck and principal at Bloomberg Beta, Minn launched a global accelerator, helped fund 130+ companies, and evaluated thousands of founders and early-stage deals across AI/ML, robotics, and enterprise software. Comfortable at the intersection of product, go-to-market, and capital, Minn has advised seed and Series A teams (notable portfolio ties include Weights & Biases, Flexport, and Skan) and led corporate development diligence at Bloomberg. Minn combines quantitative training in economics and mathematics with a human-centered approach to career and immigration services, having co-founded Plymouth to support top talent’s mobility. Based in San Francisco, Minn publishes writing at minnkim.com and tweets as @minney_cat, blending operator experience with public-facing thought leadership. An unexpected thread through Minn’s background is early musical discipline—years as a violinist—bringing a practiced attention to craft and collaboration.
