About Me


Let's see, my name is Lin, I started my first Internet company in college called Kiwibox.com . It's actually doing really well, survived the whole Internet bubble burst, and now we are doing some really HUGE things with it - it's gonna be bigger than YouTube baby!! I moved to New York a few years ago, did some casting and production work for MTV, as well as managed / produced / worked with some sick recording artists such as Dream, J.Lo, Fat Joe, Fabulous, etc.
I'm a very social person. Being around the entertainment scane in New York has its perks. You can find me backstage with Pearl Jam or popping bottles at the same clubs with Paris or even Britney (when she's not so crazy lol). If you want to come out with our crew, just drop me a note and we'll take care of you and your friends!
I'm one of the co-founders of ClimaxVIP.com , check it out! It's your best bet to get in the hottest events in New York. I have to admit I've been working like 18 hour days with my main internet company Kiwibox, but if you know your way around the New York scene, you can spot me from time to time in the VIP rooms at Marquee, Stereo and other A-list spots - it's all about the quality! lol.
