Vivi Lin started her career where the world's most important stories were breaking β€” as a Reuters TV journalist covering China's financial markets, winning the Reuters Best Scoop of the Year award. She was the person in the room when history was being made.

She brought that instinct West. As the creator and host of Vivi in the Valley, she used her platform to feature the innovators shaping the future β€” telling stories that connected East and West, and reaching over 20 million Chinese viewers at the intersection of technology, culture, and ambition.

Along the way, she became a FT China columnist, an author, a Web3 strategist, and ultimately, a founder herself. She has advised founders and startups on their media strategy β€” from Web3 to AI, from China to Silicon Valley and beyond. Souli.AI is her answer to the question she asked out loud in her TEDx talk: is technology making us more human, or less? Watch the TEDx talk β†’
