Richard Yan is a multidisciplinary entrepreneur and comedian based in San Francisco with 11 years of professional experience spanning finance, fintech, product, and live entertainment. He co-founded Vite Labs, led finance and business development at early-stage startups, and held leadership roles at Two Sigma and Goldman Sachs where he focused on product strategy and structured finance. Richard has a track record of building profitable, tech-enabled businesses—selling an owner-absentee escape-room concept—and now channels his storytelling and bilingual comedy into social platforms and interview podcasts. His background in computer science, economics and an MBA informs a data-driven approach to product and creative ventures, and he frequently blends Mandarin and English (soon Cantonese) in his material. Notably, he pivots comfortably between high-frequency trading systems and stage comedy, bringing analytical rigor to audience-facing experiences.
