We extend our thanks to our partner Tanka for their support and active participation in TechCrunch Sessions: AI, held on June 5, 2025, at UC Berkeley.
“Your Next Co-Founder Was AI” took place on the main stage from 11:00 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. PT, where Tanka CEO Kisson Lin shared her vision for AI-native startups. Drawing on her experience at Meta, TikTok, and multiple ventures, she explored how AI can act as a tireless co-founder, handling everything from product documentation to investor updates — enabling founders to scale faster, work smarter, and lead with less burnout.
